Paula Badosa on the people who attack her relationship with Stefanos Tsitsipas & say she’s harming his career:
“That has hurt me a lot, because with the whole issue of the injury, I have actually been able to dedicate myself quite a bit to helping him. We both love tennis & he is also a super-working person, we are very similar in the goals we set for ourselves. We talk a lot about tennis, & we help each other a lot. As you can see, I have gone to the court to support him or to the gym to accompany him, always respecting the times & his people, his team. He has also supported me a lot with the injury, so when we read those things it impacts us. Sometimes people are not able to understand how that can affect you, or affect a relationship. I can understand that we are public figures & that we are exposed, but in the end, we are two 25-year-olds, & all this is delicate, because it is an innocent relationship… For people to go around saying things is quite serious, because they are destroying the career of someone who has spent his entire life dedicating himself to what he does. I don’t think that giving an opinion this way is very humane.”
