Is the Tsitsipas-Badosa relationship proof that distance strengthens love rather than weakens it?

Distance means so little when someone means so much! Love always finds a way no matter what and guess what tennis stars, Stefanos Tsitsipas and Paula Badosa are perfect examples of that. Being a tennis professional comes up with a different set of challenges and we’re not just talking about on-court things. It literally takes away a significant portion of the players’ time, traveling to different parts of the world. As a result, we often see players wanting to take breaks and spend time with their families. How does Stefanos Tsitsipas deal with all these things in his life?

Both Stefanos Tsitsipas and Paula Badosa started dating each other in June 2023. However, after that in May 2024, they had a brief split before getting back together again. Speaking about their brief split, Badosa said,Sometimes you need a break to realize things and manage them better.

Tsitsidosa is one of the most popular couples in the tennis world and seeing them patch up after a small hiccup in their beautiful journey, made the fans pretty happy.

During a recent interview with Tages-Anzeiger, Tsitsipas said,My theory is that distance should actually make a relationship better, not worse. In the distance, love, attention, and intimacy should grow. Even more than when you are together. And there are some moments during the season when we play in the same places or spend the breaks together. The relationship with Paula brings me into balance because she is so different from the one with all the other people on the tour.

Reflecting further on their relationship, Tsitsipas said,It’s stimulating and complicated at the same time. We’re both chasing our dreams. It’s exciting to have a friend who has high ambitions in the same job. That motivates me too.He said that they understand each other lives pretty well because most of the tennis pros have a fair bit of similarity when it comes to certain personal traits. The Greek star believes Paula Badosa has a lot of similarities with him.

Recently, Paula Badosa and Stefanos Tsitsipas were spotted spending some quality time in Paris.

Several times in this season, we’ve seen Tsitsipas and Badosa shower praise on each other and reflect on the support they have received from each other through thick and thin. Just a few days ago we saw Paula Badosa sitting in the players’ box to cheer for Stefanos Tsitsipas during the R32 match at the Swiss Indoors.

Speaking about this constant support from his girlfriend, Tsitsipas once said,She has brought a lot of blessings into my life and I am proud that I can call her my girlfriend and my life partner….We have learned a lot from each other, we have learned how to fight, how to accept difficult situations and try to go through them.

Tsitsipas’ admiration for Badosa is so extreme that he once called her theNovak Djokovic of Women’s Tennis.It all started when an interviewer asked  Tsitsipas to tell one aspect of Paula Badosa’s game that he would most likely want to add to his armory.
