Stefanos Tsitsipas and his rumored girlfriend Maria Sakkari are the pride of Greece. While Maria ended the year ranked no. 24, Stefanos has won 2 tournaments this year, and he is 1 step from winning the prestigious Finals in London.
Are Tsitsipas and Sakkari dating?
The 2 Greek sensations have been rumored for long to be an item. The “suspicion” came after seeing their incredible chemistry during this year’s Hopman Cup. The speculations became even stronger after back in March Stefanos signed the camera writing MS95 (Maria Sakkari born in 1995). However, later in the year both Maria and Stefanos said that they enjoy only a good friendship.
Tsitsipas’ ideal girlfriend
During a recent interview, the Greek sensation revealed what are the essential characteristics that he likes in women to comment:
“She needs to be clever. Of course, being beautiful plays an important factor too. I would like my partner to understand me. A tennis player’s life is not easy. There are many trips and you have to stay focused, have eyes set on your goals. Not many women accept it. She should not necessarily play tennis, but she should understand and be with me in good and tough moments.”
Maria is currently enjoying the off season in Greece. She won’t be in London cheering for Stefanos as a friend of more, but she will definitely see the match on TV, like the rest of the Greeks all over the world.
