Badosa spoke about her relationship with Stefanos Tsitsipas and expressed her
hope that it continues for as long as he desires.
The former
world No. 2 recently announced that she has ended her season after withdrawing
from the US Open due to a back injury. Her last tournament was at Wimbledon,
where she was defeated in the second round by Marta Kostyuk.
Despite her
injury, the Spanish tennis player was in New York, supporting her boyfriend
Stefanos Tsitsipas, who suffered an early defeat in the third round against
Dominic Stricker by a score of 5-7, 7-6(2), 7-6(5), 6-7(8), 3-6.
Badosa gave
an interview to SDNA Newsroom and expressed her intention to be with the Greek
player for a long time, highlighting the mutual support they can provide each
other as professional tennis players.
“I want to
be with him as long as he wants. We have an incredible relationship, first of
all, we are best friends and I think that is very important," she said.
"I
play tennis myself, so I understand the moments and the frustration it can
have, the pressure. I just want him to know that I'm here for him. In the weeks
when I won't be able to play, like now, I'll be with him,” Badosa added.
"I
will be honest. He's someone I've always followed, because I really liked his
style of play, but I also liked his appearance because he's a very charming
man," former Indian Wells champion said.
"Also,
when I listened to his interviews I felt that he is different," she added.
"But we never spoke. When we finally started talking, I discovered this
amazing man, with an amazing soul. At first, I didn't expect this, but when I
got to know him better I was really surprised and now I'm very happy that we
are together," Badosa concluded.
