Greece’s tennis star Stefanos Tsitsipas has stated that he
is ‘upset’ about not playing with his girlfriend Paula Badosa in the
doubles category in the French Open. The two were involved in a very public
relationship and became one of the most followed couples in the world of
tennis.
Recently, Badosa announced that, with mutual understanding, both players have decided to end their more than 12-month-long relationship. The news broke the hearts of the fans, who also expressed their frustration on social media platforms but they got back together soon after.

However, recently, the fans of Tsitsidosa were thrilled to
know that Badosa and Tsitsipas would play in the doubles category in the
ongoing French Open. That, however, did not materialise as the Greek tennis
star decided to withdraw from the competition in order to focus on his singles
and men’s doubles category clash.
The 25-year-old was recently quoted in a report where he
stated that he is still upset about the development as he really wanted to play
with his ex-girlfriend and blamed the Paris weather for making it hard for him
to participate in all three events at a same time.
Stefanos Tsitsipas is playing in the men's singles and doubles category in the French Open.
"I'm still upset about it,” he said. “I have to blame
the weather in Paris. It was a disaster. I didn't expect that I would have to
play two doubles in one day, especially a day before a big match like the
singles quarterfinals. It's too much for anyone and I think it was a wise
decision to retire from one of the boards.”
In the men’s singles category, Tsitsipas has booked his place
in the quarterfinal after beating Italy’s Matteo Arnaldi with a score of 3-6,
7-6, 6-2, 6-2. He will face Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz in the last-eight clash.
In the doubles category, Tsitsipas, along with his partner and brother Petros Tsitsipas, will be playing in the third-round clash against the French duo of Gregoire Jacq and Manuel Guinard.

- Tennis "fans" have short memories. This is exactly who Saba always was... granted she found a 'new' persona when she began winning matches and tourneys. Off-court she's always been a racist potty-mouth. Her meanness also shines through when she thinks no one else is around. In short, the "person" you've witnessed in post-match on-court interviews is NOT who she is. As for her familiar "apologies, she can stick that routine in her racquet bags because I never believed her words nor phony "respect" for her opponents -- and I ain't buying that now.
mandoist15-11-2026 - Was Saba not paying attention to those who sought an inordinate amount of attention outside of their sport (occupation)... and to the point they lost their focus and eventually their place in tennis? For example: Giorgi, Bouchard, Raducanu, etc. They became infatuated with endless Selfies, videos, podcasts, TV commercials, magazine shoots, and so on. Thus their tennis suffered. Priorities are important.mandoist14-11-2026
