Tsitsipas began taking lessons at Tennis Club Glyfada near Athens at the age of six, and has long since continued to train there.[1][9] His father has always served as his primary coach, and he formally studied tennis coaching at the University of Athens to help train his children.[3][4][9] In 2015, Tsitsipas also began training at the Patrick Mouratoglou Academy, splitting time between France and Greece during this period.[10][11][7]
