Stefanos Tsitsipas and Kristen Thoms share candid couple photo and ‘love’ message after days of sitting in his player box

Stefanos Tsitsipas and Kristen Thoms recently shared a candid couple photo and a ‘love’ message with fans. This comes days after Toms was discovered in the Greek tennis star’s player’s chest at the Rotterdam Open.

Tsitsipas was participating at the Rotterdam Ahoy Stadium earlier this month. The 27-year-old started his time on the ATP 500 with an impressive win over Arthur Rinderkneich and Thomas was present in his players’ box to cheer him on. The former world No. 3 then went down to Boteach van de Zandschulp in their second-round clash. Now, with the Qatar Open just around the corner, Tsitsipas and Toms recently posed for a cute photo.

Thomas shared the photo on her personal Instagram account, adding a sweet comment to the photo, and wrote:

“🤗🤍.”

Toms herself is no stranger to the world of tennis. The American competed for Florida Atlantic University during her NCAA college career. Stefanos Tsitsipas and Kristen Thoms were first spotted together in September 2025, enjoying a walk together in Athens National Park. They then vacationed together in Namibia over Christmas.

Stefanos Tsitsipas feels he is moving in the “right direction” amid Rotterdam’s grief

On the tennis front, Stefanos Tsitsipas enjoyed an impressive start to his campaign at the Rotterdam Open, defeating eighth seed Arthur Rinderkneich in straight sets. However, he was unable to continue this momentum for long. Following his second-round loss to Boteach van de Zandschulp, the Greek star spoke about heading in the “right direction”, telling Tennis World Italia,

“I love this life, playing on the field and doing my best to win. I will do everything in my power to return to my best level. Health is the most important thing. I say this from experience, because I have recently gone through such difficult moments in my life that I prefer never to talk about them. Today, I can say that I am in a good phase and I feel that I am moving in the right direction.”

He pointed out that he needs to make a lot of improvements in his playing style, adding:

“I have a lot of things to improve. I feel that I have to completely rebuild my tennis game. I need to train hard and dedicate time to achieve this goal. The only positive thing is that I did not feel any pain. I am happy to play tennis now. Returning to the tour without physical problems allows me to set clear goals and think long-term. This is impossible when you deal with pain and injuries.”

Stefanos Tsitsipas is now set to return to action at the Qatar Open. He will face world number 33 Moez Al Sharqi in his opening match at the event.
