    Sure, I can't blame him for the way he chose to live his life choosing to party with a Spanish girl while he achieved nothing of what he was supposed to achieve based on his talent.

    Yes, as a fan of his game, I agree that his trajectory has been going the wrong way for a couple of years but we must remember, he's 25 years old and has earned over $27 million in prize money alone. Can we really call him any kind of failure? Let's get
    real.

    He doesn't owe fans anything. It's his life. He just sacked his dad so he's at least trying to improve. I think he needs to get rid of Philippoussis. I feel he needs to get a former grand slam champion as a coach. But again, it's easy for us to sit and
    criticize his decisions when he's earned $27 million in prize money and who knows how much more in endorsements at age 25!

    Hopefully, he'll figure out a correct formula so that he can play better tennis again. He's one of the only current players I'm interested in watching.

    Money doesn't mean success for everyone, and clearly he isn't happy about his results if you watch his press every time he loses. He thinks he is too good to lose.

    He isn't in my list of players to watch any more.

    I can watch Sinners, Rune, Alcaraz, and that young Italian guy.

    Philippoussis is a bonehead for the ages. Of all retired players, why pick one of the worst court tacticians ever? Serving advice? Greek blood? It's a puzzle.

    Yeah, Tsitsipas has made loads of money. Still, it must be a little rough on the ego to be a "next big thing" and then decisively leapfrogged by young Alcaraz.

    He had a great serve, but I wouldn’t even go to him for advice even on serving. Check out this utter nonsense…

    Yep.

    I saw him as the next big thing the first year he made it deep enough
    into tournaments to have a lot of TV coverage.

    He's in danger of being another Ivanesevich. Lots of talent, few big wins.

    I agree. It's probably a Greek connection.

    For sure. Tsitsipas has more weaknesses in his game than Alcaraz does.

    I'm just saying that as fans we may have a different expectation from a player, an often unrealistic one whereas the player may be content being top 10 but not quite Federer/Djokovic/Nadal material and making multi-millions by age 25.

    The fact that he finally got rid of his dad on his team tells me he wants to try and improve things.

    For me, his game is still vastly more watchable than those other players you mentioned above.
