Breaking News: Stefanos Tsitsipas immediately rejected by potential new coach after axing his dad….see more

Tsitsipas is now enjoying a weekend competing at the Laver Cup, where he tried to recruit his Team Europe captain. Bjorn Borg is set to step down from his captaincy after this year’s edition of the Laver Cup.

The Swedish tennis legend has led the Europe squad since the tournament’s inception seven years ago.

Asked if he could take anyone in the world as his new coach, the Greek star smiled. “Right now? Bjorn,” he jokingly replied after beating Team World’s Thanasi Kokkinakis.

But the 68-year-old isn’t up for being a full-time coach, and he quickly refused the offer before turning his attention to the Europe squad.

“No, but I think we have a good team spirit,” Borg said. “For me personally, I’m very old, but to spend time with these guys, and I have been doing that for many years, and I respect and I like the way they are as persons, not only tennis, but personality is very important.

That’s why for him to be, my loss, yeah, to be this week together with me, it’s fantastic.”
