Stefanos
Tsitsipas confirmed his relationship with Paula Badosa and said they are
"soulmates".
The relationship
between Tsitsipas and Badosa has been widely discussed in the past week, but
neither had officially confirmed that they are in a relationship until now. In
an interview with BILD, the Greek player was asked if Badosa would be
supporting him from the stands this week at the ATP 250 Stuttgart.
"No,
there is no need for that. She has a serious injury and is trying to come back
at Wimbledon. Therefore, rehab is very important to them. I want what's best
for her, just like I want what's best for me. It's such a nice collaboration.
No photographer is necessary in Stuttgart, I promise you that,"
The interviewer
asked the world No. 5 if he could use another word to refer to the relationship
with the Spanish tennis player.
"That
can't be a collaboration in that sense. Yes, we are a couple. But not only
(that). We are soulmates. That's how it should be defined. It is very rare that
you find your soulmate. If you ask Paula, she'll tell you exactly the same
thing," Tsitsipas said.
The Greek
player shared more details about his relationship with the 2021 WTA Indian
Wells champion:
"It's
funny how the world works, isn't it? (laughs) Do I really have to say something
about that? Does it look like this isn't safe? I'll tell you this: I've met
many women in my life.
"And I
can say that very confidently. I have never felt so attracted and found so much
beauty and interest in a woman. I told Paula that and she said the same thing
and I was happy to hear that from her," Tsitsipas added.
"Our
minds are on the same wavelength; it's such a spiritual connection. We have
good vibes together. This is such a beautiful experience. I don't think many
people experience that kind of spiritual and soulmate connection with someone.
"If
you travel around the world a lot, this is what you're looking for. You think
you'll find it somewhere in the world, but sometimes it's right in front of
you," former world No. 3 concluded.

- Sabalenka seems so unhappy. When you get angry after every mistake you make on court, you’ve got some issues sweetie! She also does seem to be “partying” a lot if you follow her social media (I don’t lolol). Very immature personality.DaveyWavey03-09-2026
- The main difference for bigger names like Alcaraz, Sinner, Zverez, etc. is that they usually make it to the later stages of tournaments while 99% of the other players win a round or two and then move on to the next tournament. The bigger names are playing more, playing longer and therefore more injury issues. The money is great but it all comes with a price!DaveyWavey03-09-2026
