Stefanos Tsitsipas’s girlfriend Theodora is a very lucky girl because she has been dating such a great and admired athlete and because she can enjoy Stefanos’ attentions.
During a recent press conference on Zoom, the world no.5 was asked to elaborate on the fact that he seems to be almost a person from the past with his nice manners and attitude. Stefanos commented:
“I try to keep up with technology and its evolution, but I have a traditional side. I am a romantic man, I like roses, I like being away from my cell phone, doing things in the old-fashioned way, slowly, because everything goes at great speed and you can’t stop at anything. Those kinds of things make you more aware of the moments you live.”
Stefanos will try to be “less romantic” in his first match at the current Madrid Open when he faces either Benoit Paire or Nikoloz Basilashvili. Tsitsipas was the runner-up in the last edition of the Madrid Open in 2019 when he lost in the final to Novak Djokovic.
