Paula Badosa spent a lot of time recently with her new boyfriend, Stefanos Tsitsipas. However, it’s time for her to get back to competitions.

Paula spent a lot of time recently with her new boyfriend Stefanos Tsitsipas and she is happy to be reunited with Aryna.
Due to the former’s numerous injury issues, which prevented her from competing in the season’s first two major tournaments and forced her to withdraw in the Wimbledon second round, Badosa and Sabalenka have primarily remained apart in 2023.

In the interim, Sabalenka has had a career year, winning her first major championship at the Australian Open and making back-to-back semifinal appearances at Wimbledon and Roland Garros.
