When asked about dating a professional tennis player, Tsitsipas said he has found more peace and tranquility with someone who doesn\u2019t share his profession. \u201cAs a creative person, I like to escape my world when I\u2019m not in it. And it\u2019s very difficult to do so when you\u2019re with someone that shares exactly what you do,\u201d said Tsitsipas.<\/p>\n
He described a lot of anxiety and uncertainty being involved in such a high-profile relationship, calling it \u201ctoo much.\u201d He further explained his opinion by saying, \u201cI feel like it keeps me calmer. It keeps my head clearer. It keeps my life more private. And having a private life for me is the most important thing.\u201d \u201cI was never a fan of being in the public eye\u2026 That made me feel very uncomfortable,\u201d Tsitsipas concluded.<\/p>\n

Sources reported that the toll of the season and the nature of the relationship being \u201cvery high profile\u201d led to the breakup, but that there were no hard feelings. Since then, new information has emerged about the seemingly amicable breakup.<\/p>\n Badosa spoke openly about the separation at a press conference in Berlin earlier this year, where she admitted that there were toxic elements involved. She expressed how difficult the situation was, saying, \u201cthings get much more complicated.\u201d Although she didn\u2019t mention the same preference for dating outside the sport, she may also share similar feelings after her breakup with Tsitsipas.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Tsitsipas has largely avoided discussing it, and in Almaty he did not directly attribute the end of the relationship to their shared profession. His remarks came the same week that Elina Svitolina and Ga\u00ebl Monfils<\/a> announced the end of their five-year marriage, another high-profile relationship between two tour players. The story has also drawn comparisons to Maria Sharapova and Grigor Dimitrov\u2019s relationship, which ended back in 2015.<\/p>\n Where Tsitsipas Stands Now<\/p>\n The comments come as Tsitsipas plays in the Almaty Open, where he reached the semifinals after defeating Aleksandar Kovacevic, Mikhail Kukushkin, and James Duckworth. Tsitsipas is comfortably outside of ATP Finals contention, so he\u2019s primarily looking for ranking points to improve his seeding at the Australian Open next year. After Almaty, he\u2019s set to play again in Basel and Paris before the season concludes.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/assets.minutemediacdn.com\/platform\/google_discover_icon.svg\"){kind=icon}
