Stefanos Tsitsipas Reacts to Watching Venus and Serena Williams’ ‘King Richard’, Makes New Wish For Will Smith

The 2021 season has been a great year for Greek sensation Stefanos Tsitsipas. The 23-year-old is the youngest player to have ranked in the top 10 of the ATP rankings. Currently, he is the World No. 4.

Despite having a great year, Tsitsipas saw a decline in his performance towards the end. This was because of his elbow injury. Nevertheless, the 2021 ATP season will definitely go down as a great season for the young athlete.

Stefanos Tsitsipas is considering a ‘Hollywood-level’ coach

Known for his aggressive baseline play with powerful groundstrokes, it seems Stefanos Tsitsipas is looking to expand his game in different directions. The 7-time ATP title winner is coached by none other than famous French coach Patrick Mouratoglou.

Not only is Mouratoglou the coach to Stefanos Tsitsipas, but he is also Serena Williams‘ coach. That is definitely some elite company for the Greek.

However, it seems as if ahead of the 2022 season, Tsitsipas is looking to make a few changes to his team. He took to Twitter to ask none other than Hollywood A-lister Will Smith to be his coach!

Undoubtedly, this is in regard to Will Smith’s latest outing as the great Richard Williams in his new movie, ‘King Richard’. The 53-year-old actor has played the father of Venus and Serena Williams with remarkable finesse, impressing critics and audiences alike.

Clearly, Smith’s performance also blew away Tsitsipas, too, as the latter asked Smith to be his very own coach!
