In 2023, Tsitsipas revealed an interesting take on his life with Badosa during his interview with ESTO at the Los Cabos Open. “I changed my life because Paula Badosa brought a bright light into it, and I did the same for her. I’ll be completely honest, I’ve never been more excited about the future, both in my private life and in my professional life. I really want to make the most of it,” he said.

While Tsitsipas’ statements showed how he loves spending time with his talented girlfriend, the couple has an interesting pact about attending each other’s matches.

Stefanos Tsitsipas revealed why he rarely attends Paula Badosa’s matches

Despite being an ardent lover of Badosa, Tsitsipas rarely attends his girlfriend’s matches. When asked why, Tsitsipas said, “It can sometimes be difficult and drain my energy when I watch her play on an outside court and there are hundreds of fans asking for autographs. When she plays, I have a day off, I have to train and just get back into my routine.

This Greek tennis player’s statement cleared the air that it is simply the stress and anxiety for which he chooses not to attend Badosa’s matches.  He further said, “That’s one of the agreements I made with Paula. If she wants to watch, she can always. But it’s better if we focus on our tennis and our training.”

Tsitsipas might be out from the Cincinnati Open but his talented girlfriend is leaving a mark in the tournament. Given that Badosa has reached the quarterfinals she might surprise everyone by winning this title. Following her incredible boyfriend Tsitipas’ support, nothing seems impossible now for the Spaniard.
