Stefanos Tsitsipas and Maria Sakkari are arguably among the world’s fastest rising young tennis players. The two, who both hail from Greece, have been rumored to be secretly dating in the past few months. However, the two have been silent about their relationship, which only drove more fans to be more interested in whether they are dating. The two Greek tennis stars, who have been friends since they were children, also seem to have a bright future ahead in the court.
Are Stefanos Tsitsipas and Maria Sakkari really dating?
According to the Greek City Times, Tsitsipas has been recently asked about his dating status and if he is in a relationship with Sakkari. His response did not really indicate a definitive relationship status. But he was seen a few months ago, watching her train for Wimbledon. He was photographed wearing a hoodie and shades, which eventually became viral. Fans of the two players created the hashtag #TsitsiKari, which is a combination of their surnames.
Despite the fact that the two players regularly post each other’s faces in their respective social media accounts, there has been no clear confirmation whether the two are indeed together. It could be because the two tennis players are more concerned with playing their sport than playing the celebrity game.
It also helps that both Sakkari and Tsitsipas are a formidable mixed doubles team. They memorably beat out Roger Federer and Belinda Bencic in the Hopman Cup earlier this year. Their bright futures as tennis players only fuel the rumors about them, the same way it was with Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf before them.

Meanwhile both Sakkari and Tsitsipas are set to make a strong showing in their respective matches in the U.S. Open in the next few weeks. Sakkari is set to battle Camila Giorgi for the opening rounds of the tournament while Tsitsipas is on a hot streak.
Tsitsipas has had a rough few months in the court, with a first-round elimination in Wimbledon, Montreal and Cincinnati.
Sakkari, on the other hand, has been having a resurgent few weeks. In the recently concluded Cincinnati Masters, she pulled off her sixth career top 10 finish. Earlier this month, Sakkari pulled off a sensational comeback in the Silicon Valley Classic in San Jose California, burying Elina Svitolina in the semis.
