Tsitsipas for Bandosa: “We are not just a couple, we are soulmates”

Stefanos Tsitsipas (No. 5) makes his debut at the Stuttgart Open on Thursday (June 15) and meets Richard Gasquet (No. 55) in the second round (6:00 p.m., COSMOTE SPORT 6 HD and LIVE on Sportish). In the run-up to his participation in the tournament, he gave an interview to “Bild” in which he spoke, among other things, about his new relationship with Paula Bandosa.

Read what Tsitsipas said:

On the question of whether Bandosa will be there in Stuttgart: “She’s injured and trying to be ready for Wimbledon. It is important that she continues with her recovery and I want what is best for her as much as I do. It’s a very nice partnership. I promise you that no photographer is needed.

As for anyone concerned about whether he’s dating Bandosa: “It’s funny how the world works. I think it’s obvious. Is it still a secret, is there uncertainty? I think there is nothing uncertain. I’ll tell you this: I’ve met many women in my life and I’ve never been more attracted to another. I have never found so much beauty and so much interest in a woman’s spirit and I have told Paula that and I am happy to hear the same from her. Our minds match and it’s a spiritual connection, more than an attraction. It would be wrong if that didn’t happen, very wrong. The energy we have is great, it’s very beautiful to experience. Not many people have the opportunity to experience something like this. I may sound shocked to say this now, but I didn’t believe in spiritual connections, soul mates. Now I know it exists. It’s strange because when you travel around the world you’re not looking for something, you think you’re finding something, and sometimes it’s right in front of you. That’s exactly what happened. And we’re sticking with it.

Whether her storm of social media moments will last: “We share something when we feel like it. It’s not a full-time job for us. We have so much fun hanging out, we have good energy together, we’re honest and open. It’s rare.” Find someone you can be open with without feeling like you need to change or adapt. I’m a closed person and don’t like to share much about myself on social media. I’ve never felt the need to do that with relationships. It’s so much fun that I don’t feel like it’s wrong. I wish more people would think like this. I don’t want to advertise it, but at the same time, I want people to be inspired by it and find their own journey. I hope it happens, everyone deserves something like this in their life.”

Whether couple or friends: “I don’t think that can be a friendship, that would be unusual. yes we are a couple We’re not just a couple, we’re soul mates. So we have to define ourselves first. More like soulmates than any other relationship or tender thing. Of course there are plenty of them, but finding your soulmate is rare. If you ask her, she will tell you the same thing. There is only one version.

Whether his thoughts stay with tennis: “Always balance everything. I believe in that. Personal life, tennis. I wasn’t aiming for anything, it just happened. And when it happens, there’s nothing you can do about it. Especially when there is such a partnership, such a good person at your side who helps you. Who is at your side in everything and you too. If there is someone who understands my life well and lives it the same way, then it is Paula.

Because she is also a tennis player: If the tasks remain separate, there is no mixing, then they are one Scenario that doesn’t get any better. I’m lucky he came into my life.’

As for whether she will move to Dubai, where the Spaniard lives: It’s under discussion.”
