Tsitsipas brings father back as coach after Ivanisevic split

July 31 (Reuters) - Stefanos Tsitsipas has brought his father Apostolos back as coach after ending his brief partnership with Goran Ivanisevic, the former world number three said. Tsitsipas, 26, ended his collaboration with Ivanisevic, who helped Novak Djokovic claim nine of his 24 Grand Slam titles, last week after less than two months. Tsitsipas, the 2021 French Open and 2023 Australian Open runner-up, has tumbled to 30th in the world rankings and has failed to get beyond the second round in the first three Grand Slams of the season. Following Tsitsipas' first-round exit at Wimbledon, Ivanisevic delivered a scathing assessment of the Greek, saying he had "never seen a more unprepared player" in his life. His title win in Dubai in February is the only final he has reached in 2025. "Some journeys have a way of circling back to where they began," Tsitsipas, who lost to Christopher O'Connell in the second round of the Canadian Open on Wednesday, posted on social media. "After some time apart, I've reunited with the person who first believed in me - my father. "I'm grateful to share the court and the road ahead with him once again. We've been through every chapter of this journey together, and this next one feels right. "Sometimes, coming home is the boldest step forward."

Full circle moment for Bouchard as Canadian ends career on home soil

July 30 (Reuters) - Canadian Eugenie Bouchard brought the curtain down on her career on Wednesday after the former world number five lost 6-2 3-6 6-4 to Belinda Bencic in the second round of the Canadian Open in Montreal. The 31-year-old, who announced earlier this month that the tournament in her hometown would be her last, looked overmatched against 17th seed Bencic in the first set but rallied in the second, breaking with a blistering forehand to take a 5-3 lead before going on to level the match. Bouchard then seized a 3-1 lead in the decider but Bencic clawed her way back and sealed victory when the Canadian's backhand drifted wide. "It's so special to play my last match here in Montreal, on this court and in front of you guys," Bouchard said at an emotional retirement ceremony. "I remember being a little kid, sitting in these stands hoping and dreaming that I would play on this court one day, so it feels like a full circle moment to finish my career here." Bouchard's best year was 2014 when she reached the semi-finals of the French and Australian Opens, and the final of Wimbledon. She plays on the Professional Pickleball Association Tour, which she joined ahead of the 2024 season. In other Montreal matches, two-time defending champion Jessica Pegula, Australian Open winner Madison Keys and Briton Emma Raducanu all advanced to the third round with straight sets wins on Wednesday. In the men's tournament, which is being played in Toronto, Ben Shelton beat Adrian Mannarino of France 6-2 6-3 and the fourth seed will next face fellow American Brandon Nakashima in the third round. American Frances Tiafoe battled back to defeat Japan's Yosuke Watanuki 1-6 7-5 7-6(5) and will next face Australia's Aleksandar Vukic. Former world number three Stefanos Tsitsipas continues to struggle on tour, the Greek falling to Australian Christopher O'Connell 6-4 4-6 6-2. Tsitsipas, who has fallen to 30th in the world, said last week he had split with coach Goran Ivanisevic.

Emma Raducanu eases into third round in Montreal after straight-sets win over Peyton Stearns

Emma Raducanu continued her run of good form as she booked a place in the third round of the National Bank Open in Montreal with a straight-sets win over Peyton Stearns. The world No 33 proved too strong for the American 32nd seed, a couple of breaks in each set clinching a 6-2 6-4 win. Raducanu, who arrived at the WTA 1000 event fresh from an impressive semi-final showing at the Citi Open last week, had won her two previous meetings with Stearns and an early break put her in control of the first set. She broke again in a lengthy eighth game to seal the set, but fell a break down midway through the second as double faults crept into her game. The British No 1 broke back to level at 4-4 and a final break completed a run of four successive games to clinch a place in the last 32. 'I know Peyton is a really tough opponent, we've played two times in the past and always had really long matches,' Raducanu said after the match. 'I'm really happy with how I came through in that match. I kind of lost my focus at some moments in the second set and she took advantage, but very happy that I came through against a top opponent and happy to extend my stay in Montreal. 'I just want to say thank you [to supporters], I saw the union jack in clutch moments and I was actually born in Canada, so to come back and to me it means so much to do well here and very happy to be into the next round.' Raducanu will face Wimbledon finalist Amanda Anisimova or New Zealand's Lulu Sun in the third round.
