Stefanos Tsitsipas displayed impressive form at the Miami Open, setting up a highly anticipated clash with Alex de Minaur. As he played his opening match, fans were not just focused on the court; many were captivated by his girlfriend, Kirsten Thoms, who was present to support him.
Kirsten Thoms Shines Courtside
Kirsten Thoms captured attention with her elegant style. Wearing a crisp brown blazer, she maintained a low-key yet fashionable presence while cheering for Tsitsipas. This has sparked discussions among fans about both her fashion choices and their relationship, which has gained media interest recently.
Relationship Timeline
- Tsitsipas and Thoms were first linked in September 2025.
- The couple was spotted together in Athens soon after Tsitsipas’ split with Paula Badosa.
- They enjoyed a trip to Namibia during Christmas 2025.
- By January 2026, they went public with their relationship.
Tsitsipas’ Performance at the Miami Open
During the Miami Open, Tsitsipas faced Arthur Fery in his opening match. He emerged victorious, winning in straight sets with scores of 6-1, 7-6(4). This win was crucial for Tsitsipas, who has struggled to find form earlier in the season.
Challenging Season So Far
Tsitsipas began his 2026 season at the Adelaide International but experienced an early exit against Aleksandar Vukic. He continued to face challenges, with second-round losses at both the Australian Open and the ABN Amro Open. Despite a quarterfinal appearance in Qatar, he stumbled again with first-round losses in Dubai and Indian Wells.
Upcoming Match Against Alex de Minaur
Next, Tsitsipas will take on Alex de Minaur in the second round of the Miami Open. Historically, their head-to-head record favors Tsitsipas, who has won most encounters between the two. De Minaur has managed to secure only one victory against him in 2024, providing an advantage to Tsitsipas as he prepares for this match.
While on the court Tsitsipas aims to establish rhythm, off the court, Kirsten Thoms continues to make a name for herself. Her presence at the tournament brings an added layer to the discussions surrounding the rising star of tennis.
