Paula Badosa said.

The tennis player born in 1997 compared her love story to the relationship between senior Maria Sharapova and colleague Grigor Dimitrov a few years ago. “It’s like you meet the right person but maybe at the wrong time,” Badosa said. Former tennis queen Maria Sharapova and her male colleague, 4 years younger than her, Grigor Dimitrov dated for a while in 2013, but two years later they went their separate ways.

As we turn the next page of our lives, we continue to wish each other the best,” said the former world number two tennis player.

The love story “from a special dream” of a talented tennis couple began last May but was not made public a month later. Considered a powerful pair of soccer stars, Badosa and Tsitsipas created a personal page to post their sweet moments. After they broke up, the account named Tsitsidosa, a combination of their last names and attracting 87,000 followers, was deleted.

When their love story first blossomed, both had setbacks in their careers.

Paula Badosa was once the second-ranked female tennis player in the world in 2022 and has now dropped to 126th. With her outstanding beauty and talent, she was once considered the “new Sharapova”, but this also puts Badosa under a lot of pressure. . Meanwhile, the highest ranking Tsitsipas achieved was third in the world in 2021, currently ranked 8th.
