Paula Badosa spoke out against people who 'judge and find blame' in their relationship with Stefanos Tsitsipas.
Badosa and Tsitsipas are the best-known tennis couple right now. The duo debuted their relationship on social media after Badosa's previous high-profile relationship ended. It's been rather well received among fans who were quite supportive, but not all has been great.
Both players faced a lot of pressure, especially from fans on social media, because neither produced excellent results since the relationship became public. Badosa largely struggled with injuries, and Tsitsipas struggled on the tennis court.
In a recent interview, the Greek player spoke about their relationship, admitting that it slightly changed his perspective. The interview was shared on social media, and many fans were quick to comment and judge. That's why the WTA's former No. 2 has decided to share her opinion with all the people commenting on social media.
Always misinterpreting words. It makes me a little tired that you always have to judge and find blame. He doesn't refer to that, and it seems incredible that he has to go out and explain himself.
For people who judge without being informed, I've been injured for months and can't train. As a professional tennis player, it is the hardest thing mentally to have to be away from the courts for so long. The only thing I want is to be able to play again. And I only do that by listening to it as a distraction or as I dedicate myself to other things. Please a little more respect. Thanks.
As frustrating as it might be for Badosa, that's just the nature of life. People will assume various things and make judgments where they shouldn't. Many players often talk about dealing with outside pressure while competing professionally, and while they maybe shouldn't, it doesn't seem to be a solvable issue right now.
