This is what made it difficult for them to continue working together, as he has always trained under people who are family and termed the Croatian to be a 'dictator.' In an interview with SDNA, Tsitsipas said:"When I work with the right people, with people that I choose and make me feel comfortable, there is a mood," said the Greek, "it is very difficult to have dictators and people who speak negatively and you don't feel like they are close to you like family." The Greek is yet to move past the quarterfinals in any event this season, with the exception of his title win in Dubai.
