Maxime Cressy is running the headlines for an unpopular reason. The American tennis player’s on-court tantrum, which included throwing items, followed his 2024 US Open qualifiers loss to Jan Choinski. Not many would know, but Cressy has this unique ability to steal the spotlight while expressing his emotions. In 2023, he surprised the tennis world by announcing his relationship with the WTA star Priscilla Hon. Little did he know, this would turn ‘HORRENDOUS’!

Maxime Cressy and Priscilla Hon’s relationship became public in April 2023 when Cressy shared a photo of them together on social media. However, he quickly deleted the post after facing a backlash from online betting communities who saw it as a potential conflict of interest. However, the couple had been hinting at their relationship for some time prior to the public announcement.

In 2019, Hon was spotted cheering for Cressy from the stands during the Australian Open. After that, they have been spotted together multiple times on social media. But most importantly, both Cressy and Hon have made their bond stronger with their common love for the racquet sport. Despite the initial confirmation, the couple’s lack of public appearances together since last year has fueled speculation about the status of their relationship.

Although Cressy has been knocked out of the US Open this year, Hon is still well alive in this competition. The former world number 118 will face the current number 2, Aryna Sabalenka in the 2024 US Open R1 on August 27. Well, on a personal note, the two share some similarities.

Talking about similarities, Maxime Cressy is originally from Paris, France, but now lives in California, Australia. On the other hand, Priscilla Hon was born to Chinese parents who later immigrated to Australia from Hong Kong. So, both of them have a mixed ethnicity. Apart from that, tennis is considered being the first love for both of them. What really brought them into this beautiful sport?

Well, in reply, Cressy said, “I love tennis because I’m really competitive and I’ve played tennis my whole life…I just love my serve and volley game and I love being aggressive. And I’m also very, very competitive…” Cressy expressed his passion for tennis, citing the opportunity to travel the world and compete at a high level as a major draw.

Why does Hon loves tennis though? “I love what it has brought me. I was home-schooled, so it brought me a lot of lifelong friendships. And travel as well….The opportunities for me have been the best part for me,” said Priscilla Hon. Hence, both of them are travel lovers.

Then again, when both of them were once asked to name the qualities which they admire the most as human beings, Hon said, “Loyalty. Generous. And humble.” Maxime Cressy answered, “Humble attitude and very kind…” These answers are a clear depiction of what really brought these two tennis stars closer to each other.
