Three of the most successful players ever are in decads long relationship. They have been as good as married since 2001 and 2005 and two of them were married for almost the better part of their career.
What that tells you?

They don’t have to get married, but I do think there is a strong correction between stable long term relationships and career success. The Big 3 met and stuck with the women who would eventually become their wives at a young age. Instead of chasing around every super model they could find, they dated and settled down with girls they’d grown up with for the most part.

Strong correlation to success - but also asks the questions how successful could they have been without that distraction. Who knows? And as a very happy family man I am in no way putting down family life.

Why did OP mention Fed/Nadal as marriage causing issues when Djokovic was the one who had the biggest impact as a married man after his cheating scandal with Deepika in 2017? (not making baseless accusations, Novak's exes said he had the affair and we all know how bad Novak's 2017 was).

Federer and Nadal have been in very stable relationships for countless years now. Djokovic however faced accusations of affairs with Deepika in 2017 which saw his results plummet and his wife stopped attending his matches.

And 5 years later they are still together. Nobody's perfect. No marriage is always a fairy tale. And accusations are just accusations. Let them be just that. The fact that they stayed together speaks of a strong bond.

I’m sure my posts on TTW will cause damage to their relationship
. It is an accusation and a well founded one that several media sources commented on, and then Novak having shocking results after the “alleged scandal”. But yes, nobody is perfect.Clay grinder

Strictly speaking, 'single vs. married' comes off as a false dichotomy when it comes to evaluating the stress off-the-court of professional sportsmen. The most potentially distressing factor for sportsmen is 'childlessness vs. parenthood'.

No, you should be sleeping with different people every tour stop.

Rafa has said his partner (wife since October 2019) brings stability to his life. They started to date in 2005.

They seemed to have done well with it. Same for Novak.

I'm pretty convinced Becker, Connors, won plenty while having fun.

It's not whether they should get married but WHO they marry.
The ones who marry actresses and models need a lobotomy.
Also, serial cheaters shouldn't marry before they're 35. Djokovic feels he still needs to play the field, which is KINDA difficult to do in the age of the mobile cameras and the internet. Ditto Becker who married way too young. The guy was still doing the alpha thing, well into his 40s, let alone 20s. Betas like Anderson can marry at 19.

There's a very naive fan demographic that believes that top pros need to be chaste to succeed.

Good point, I bet some players might play worse if they don't have some adult fun to relax them.

No.. Stay single and let your pockets jingle
Those were the good old days when players used to smoke and drink during tournaments. Now the players need their 8 hours of sleep, unless they’re called Kyrgios.
I’m not saying they have to be monks to succeed. I’m saying you can’t fool around during tournaments.

We don't know what players get up to between matches.
The cameras only show their matches and a few brief interviews.
Unless you have secret cameras installed everywhere?

Kyrgios is proof that those good old days are gone.
