Stefanos Tsitsipas' dad addresses rumors about a rift with his son

During his recent appearance on MEGA's show,' You Haven't Seen Anything Yet ', Stefanos' father dismissed any relation between the post and the Tsitsipas family dynamics.

"The post is not his own; someone else made it. This post, from what I saw, is on YouTube. He borrowed it from YouTube and posted it, he made a repost, that’s what it’s called. Everyone makes reposts," he said according to Greek City Times.
