“Yes, we are a couple. But not only that. We are soul mates”, Tsitsipas (24), the global number 5, noted during the grass tournament in Stuttgart. “I have never felt so attracted and found so much beauty.”
The 25-year-old Badosa is the number 34 in the world. Last year she was second in the ranking.
Tsitsipas, who had no chance against Carlos Alcaraz in three sets at Roland Garros last week, will face Frenchman Richard Gasquet in the second round at the Stuttgart tournament.
