Stefanos Tsitsipas expressed relief after pulling out of mixed doubles due to Badosa’s injury

Tsitsipas has played amazingly well against two of the most legendary tennis players in the first two rounds at Wimbledon. He successfully made his way to the third round at Wimbledon after defeating Dominic Thiem and Andy Murray. Needless to say, both the wins did not come easy and definitely took a toll on his physical and mental health both.

He was also supposed to participate in mixed doubles along with his girlfriend Paula Badosa. But he couldn’t because of her injury which led to her early retirement from the tournament. After he was relieved from the mixed doubles, he expressed that he was happy not to participate in the mixed doubles. In an interview with Euro Sport, he added, “Mixed [doubles] is not a thing anymore, thank God. I prefer to live”.
