Greece’s tennis star Stefanos Tsitsipas has stated that the presence
of her girlfriend Spain’s Paula Badosa has helped her ‘a lot’.
The two have been in a relationship for a while and are seen as a powerful couple in the world of tennis.
Tsitsipas was quoted in a report recently where he stated
that the presence of someone like Badosa has helped in changing his approach towards
the game.
“Her presence in my life helps me a lot,” he said. “She has
changed my approach to the game in a way that I never expected."
Talking about his objective, Tsitsipas stated that reaching the
very top remains his primary objective but admitted that it is not ‘everything’
for him.
“I certainly think about it a lot, but the top isn’t
everything,” he said. “I was addicted to this target when I was younger and
this deprived me of something. This doesn’t mean that I’m not happy with what I
have accomplished; I do want to improve as a player.
“But the key is finding a balance between your private life,
building something with someone, and moving ahead in your career, with that
person’s help.”
Tsitsipas is coming on the back of a disappointing season on
her personal level. He started 2023 in a great manner when he reached the
final of the Australian Open but lost to the current world number one Serbia’s
legendary tennis star Novak Djokovic with a score of 6–3, 7–6(7–4), 7–6(7–5).
However, from there on, not much went right for the world
number five who was knocked out from the quarterfinal of the French Open after
losing to world number two Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz with a score of 6-2, 6-1,
7-6.
In Wimbledon, Tsitsipas was knocked out in the fourth round
whereas in the US Open, he crashed out of the tournament in the second round.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.
mandoist08-11-2026 - Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??mandoist08-11-2026
- Wtf? Why is there no reason? And what about the men's?Bel08-11-2026
- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026
