Stefanos Tsitsipas faced Pablo Cuevas in the finals of the ATP Estoril Open and walked away with the win and scores of 6-3 7-6. This win has given him his 3rd ATP title. Prior to this, Tsitsipas had won Open 13 Provence in February this year as well as Intrum Stockholm Open in October last year. With the euphoria of the win, Tsitsipas said that you have to fight hard and give your soul to the court. He elaborated by saying that the title means a lot to him as it’s on clay which is his preferred surface.

Not to be outdone, Greek no.1 Maria Sakkari won her maiden title in Rabat after an incredible week. In the final against the former world no.4 Jo Konta, things were looking down when Sakkari was 2-6 2-4 down. However, Sakkari managed to turn things around beautifully by winning the following 10 of 11 games and winning the match 2-6 6-4 6-1 in 1 hour and 56 minutes.

Rumor mill

Stefanos Tsitsipas has never disclosed anything about his private life or the possibility of a girlfriend. In fact, it seemed like Tsitsipas was focused on only tennis. However, things have taken a turn. When taking a look at all of the evidence, it’s hard to not make assumptions. For starters, Naomi and Stefanos have been poking fun at each other on social media for the last couple of weeks which led to the internet speculating about a possible romance. In addition to this, after his match in Miami against Leonardo Mayer, Stefanos signed on the camera “MS 95” which has been interpreted by many as “Maria Sakkari born in 1995.”

In addition to all of this, after defeating Roger Federer and Belinda Bencic, Tsitsipas was unable to stop himself from kissing Maria. All of this points to a possible relationship between Stefanos Tsitsipas and Maria Sakkari.
