Tennis fathers and sons: Stefanos and Apostolos Tsitsipas, and other ways to coach
New York TimesNEW YORK — When Alexander Zverev plays his quarterfinal match at the U.S. Open Tuesday, there will be several crucial moments and they will all play out the same way — in one sense. “I just need to move on now,” Tsitsipas said during an interview last month at the West Side Tennis Club in New York’s Forest Hills district. “It’s always the team’s fault,” he said later after he had come back to win, even when the main players on that team are his father and brother. “I can almost sense what he’s feeling,” Christian Ruud, a former touring pro and father of three-time Grand Slam finalist Casper, said during an interview earlier this year. Ben Shelton practices with his father Bryan in Houston “I’m running more sprints than everyone else when I do something wrong or show up late,” he said then.
