"Stay home, let her provide"- Fans continue attack on Stefanos Tsitsipas for his "misogyny" as he praises girlfriend Paula Badosa's Wimbledon 3R win

Several tennis fans criticized Stefanos Tsitsipas recalling his views on gender roles after he celebrated Paula Badosa's third-round win at Wimbledon 2024. While the Spaniard advanced to the fourth round defeating Daria Kasatkina, Tsitsipas faced an early exit, losing to Emil Ruusuvuori in the second round.

The Greek had previously sparked controversy by sharing a clip that glorified gender stereotypes. In that, the narrator displayed the woman as a "multiplier" expected to produce offspring, while the man was portrayed as the "provider" who ran the family. Consequently, Tsitsipas received heavy backlash from the fans online.

The 25-year-old recently celebrated his girlfriend's third-round victory by posting a clip on X in which he can be seen hugging her elatedly.

"Proud of you @paulabadosa," he wrote.

While Badosa excelled in the third round, most of the tennis fans on X seized this opportunity to attack Tsitsipas' controversial opinions on gender roles, advising him to manage the household.

"Why don't you stay at home and let her provide for you, misogynistic loser," one fan wrote.

"Get in the kitchen and make her a sandwich," another chimed in.

"Get in the kitchen, lil bro," a fan commented.

Here are a few more reactions from the tennis fans:

"Weird…paula should be "multiplying" now and not winning games (:," a fan weighed in.

"Badosa ok, what about you, not having work ethics to win tournaments, grandslams," one fan expressed.

"We love a good provider for HER family!!" another said.

Paula Badosa is set to face Donna Vekic in the fourth round of the London Major on Sunday, July 7. Meanwhile, Tsitsipas also struggled in the doubles draw of the grasscourt Major, partnering with his brother Petros. They faced a first-round defeat against the team of Andres Molteni and Maximo Gonzalez.

After receiving heavy backlash, Stefanos Tsitsipas clarified that his views originated from his romantic personality and that his intentions were misconstrued.

"My intentions were completely different from what people saw. I am a very romantic person and I like videos and generally arts that have to do with something beautiful and impressive. I saw it from that side too," he said (Via Clay).

The Geek further acknowledged that he did wrong sharing a video that was widely "misunderstood".

"I didn't see it as sexist or misogynistic, as it was treated by many people. I will say that I was wrong, I shouldn't have shared something like that because it was misunderstood by many," he added.

The two-time Grand Slam finalist also came under fire for endorsing Iman Gadzhi's controversial perspectives on "modern feminism" in 2022. Following his Wimbledon exit, Stefanos Tsitsipas is next scheduled to compete at the Swiss Open in Gstaad.
