Stefanos Tsitsipas’ girlfriend grabs spotlight at Miami Open as he wins strong and sets up Alex de Minaur clash

Stefanos Tsitsipas was back on court at the Miami Open, but this time, fans were also watching the stands. His girlfriend, Kirsten Thoms, caught everyone’s eye with her calm and stylish courtside look while cheering for him in Florida.

She wore a clean brown blazer and kept things simple, but the way she carried herself made people notice her right away. This comes at a time when Tsitsipas is trying to get his season back on track. So while he handled business on court, Thoms quietly became part of the conversation off it. A short video of her at the match is now going around online, with fans talking about her look and presence.Their relationship has also been getting more attention lately.

The two were first linked in September 2025 after Tsitsipas split from Paula Badosa. They were seen walking together in Athens, and later spent time in Namibia during Christmas. By January 2026, they made things public.

Stefanos Tsitsipas builds momentum at Miami Open as Kirsten Thoms supports him courtside and Alex de Minaur clash awaits

Kirsten Thoms is not new to tennis. She played college tennis in the United States. She first played for Iowa during her sophomore year and later moved to Florida Atlantic University, where she finished her college career.

So her presence at matches is not just support, she understands the sport closely.At the Miami Open, she was seen watching Tsitsipas from the stands as he played his opening match. The Greek player faced Arthur Fery and won in straight sets, 6-1, 7-6(4). It was a solid performance, especially after a rough start to the year.Tsitsipas began his 2026 season at the Adelaide International but lost early to Aleksandar Vukic.

Then came more early exits. He lost in the second round at the Australian Open and again at the ABN Amro Open. He showed some improvement in Qatar, reaching the quarterfinal, but then slipped again with first-round losses in Dubai and Indian Wells.So this win in Miami matters. It gives him a chance to reset and build some rhythm.Next, he faces Alex de Minaur in the second round. Their head-to-head record is very one-sided. Tsitsipas has won almost all their matches. De Minaur has managed to win only once, and that came in 2024. That history gives Tsitsipas a clear edge going into this match.For now, the focus stays on his performance. But off the court, Kirsten Thoms continues to draw quiet attention. Her simple courtside appearance has added a fresh talking point around Tsitsipas during this tournament.
