Spain’s Paula Badosa has opened up about boyfriend Stefanos Tsitsipas support during difficult times. The two have been dating for more than a year now and are often regarded as one of the power couples in professional tennis.

Badosa has struggled with fitness concerns in the recent past. She returned to the court earlier this year after spending nearly 12 months on the sidelines. She had a very good season under her belt which is why she ended the year as the world number 11. The New York-born star has been recently quoted in a report where she talked in detail about how her boyfriend Tsitsipas has helped during her difficult times. The reigning world number 11 revealed that not only the Greek tennis star is a ‘very sensitive’ person but also explained how he ended up suffering himself because of caring too much to make things better for his girlfriend.

"Stefanos was an unconditional support for me in all those months I spent lying on a sofa," said Badosa. "He is a very sensitive person and, sometimes, he empathized so much that he ended up suffering too much. There were times when I had to cheer myself up just for him, who was constantly looking for solutions to make me feel better," she added. "That's why when I won the title in Washington, he was the first person I called and mentioned because the truth is that he has been very important in my recovery."

Badosa’s year came to an end when she was forced to withdraw from the Japan Open because of a fitness concern. She ended up winning 37 out of 55 matches and suffered just 18 defeats in the process. Her best outing this year came at the Mubadala Citi Open where she lifted the title after beating Marie Bouzkova in the final with a score of 6-1, 4-6, 6-4 .
