So happy for him, he's been making a small comeback!

Keep a healthy distance from your family is essential!

In every walk of life.

I agree.

That distance can be very variable depending on the family, but yes

Has anyone coined the term nepoparent?

I think the Venn diagram with /r/raisedbynarcissists would likely be a circle

Decade too late, he could have had a Zverev or better type career and cleaned up some slams when Djoker started showing his age and Sincaraz started having the injuries

(he totally didn't, his dad will just find a way to creep back)

12. u/smiggie_ballzy · 2026-10-23 09:06 UTC

dude could have 8 slams by now lmao

Are we gonna talk about Tsitsipas at his peak ?

Thank you for this. It's good to remind people where Stef was and who was his enabler.

Circlejerk is insane about Tsitsipas' dad and his coaching. I also hate their dynamic. But don't forget, he was #3 in the world with 3 masters, 1 finals, 2 slam finals.

Yes, we can speculate if if if he was at his peak without his father, maybe he would achieve even more. But it's not granted.

Yes, this relationship was always problematic.

But this graph shows one good result falling off and another good result some time later and the rest is trending but noisy.

16. u/Ghetto_Games · 2026-10-23 10:02 UTC

Jeeves overlay the graph with Badosa entering and leaving Tsitsipas' life.

17. u/Big-Programmer-7010 · 2026-10-23 14:01 UTC

We can expect another big wave when he rehires his dad.

18. u/andriko47 · 2026-10-23 14:26 UTC

To be fair he had basically no points to defend from July on so it was inevitable that he would rise up the rankings and was already way higher in the race than the rankings at that point.

19. u/Positive_Affect_6720 · 2026-10-23 09:07 UTC

even higher 35 in live rankings rn..33 if he wins today

20. u/bumpit007 · 2026-10-23 14:49 UTC

There has to be some way to block Tsitsipas posts from my feed!!
