Tennis couple Paula Badosa and Stefanos Tsitsipas have called it quits after a year of dating, as confirmed by Badosa in a recent interview with Tennis.com. The 26-year-old player opened up about the breakup, stating, “When we were great, the relationship was great. Other times, we have our own careers, our own things, and sometimes it’s better to separate ways.”
Drawing parallels to the relationship between Maria Sharapova and Grigor Dimitrov, Badosa expressed that sometimes you meet the right person at the wrong moment. She further elaborated on the end of their relationship in a heartfelt Instagram Story post, emphasizing the support they have received from both their families, friends, and teams.
Despite the breakup, Badosa remains optimistic about the future, mentioning that they will continue to see each other on tour and leaving the door open for what may happen down the line. The former couple’s romance was first revealed during Wimbledon last year when a BBC presenter referred to Badosa as Tsitsipas’s girlfriend, a moment that went uncorrected by Tsitsipas.
As fans of both players process the news of their split, the focus now shifts back to their respective careers on the tennis court. With their professionalism and mutual respect intact, Badosa and Tsitsipas are set to navigate the post-breakup phase with grace and determination.
