Paula Badosa, a Spanish tennis player, has reacted strongly to those who blame her for boyfriend Stefanos Tsitsipas’ new viewpoint on tennis.
Tsitsipas recently said in an interview with the Greek publication that he no longer aspires to be the best tennis player and is now more concerned with creating a balance between his personal and professional lives.
Tsitsipas said earlier: “The key is finding a balance between your private life, building something with someone, and moving ahead in your career with that person’s help. Having Paula Badosa in my life helps me a lot. It has changed my approach to the sport in a way I never would have expected.”
The Spanish journalist Jose Moron responded to Tsitsipas’ remarks on Twitter and wrote: “Tsitsipas reveals that Badosa has made him change the perspective of his career and his ambitions as a tennis player.”
Upon hearing this, Badosa reacted by stating that Moron had purposefully misinterpreted her boyfriend’s statement. She said: “Always misinterpreting words. It makes me a little tired that you always have to judge and find blame. He doesn’t refer to that, and it seems incredible that he has to go out and explain himself.”
