  "account": "Stefanos Tsitsipas credited a coaching change for renewed confidence after his first-round victory at the U.S. Open against 10th seed Arthur Fils. The Greek tennis star parted ways with his father, Apostolos, after 23 years, citing a need for a calmer voice in his tennis life. This decision came after a series of injuries and disappointing results. Tsitsipas brought in Thomas Perrin to his team, seeking to revive his fortunes. After the match, Tsitsipas expressed that he felt the change was necessary after growing up and realizing his previous dynamics were not serving his purpose anymore. Despite loving his father, Tsitsipas felt the need for a change in his coaching relationship. This victory marks Tsitsipas' return to form and provides him with a significant boost in confidence as he continues to climb the rankings.",
