Stefanos Tsitsipas, the prominent figure in tennis representing Greece, has recently expressed profound admiration and support for his girlfriend, Paula Badosa, urging the Greek community in Australia to rally behind the Spanish tennis star as she prepares for her potential comeback Down Under.
The relationship between Tsitsipas and Badosa has captured the attention of tennis enthusiasts, blossoming from the intriguing sight of Badosa attending one of Tsitsipas’ matches during the 2023 French Open. Since confirming their romantic involvement, the couple has openly shared their affection on social media, declaring their love for each other and even launching a joint Instagram account named ‘Tsitsidosa.’
Their partnership extended beyond the digital realm, as Tsitsipas and Badosa recently debuted together in mixed doubles at the World Tennis League in Abu Dhabi, triumphing together on the court.
In an interview with 2GB during his visit to Sydney, Australia, for the United Cup representing Greece, Tsitsipas showered praise on Badosa, highlighting her significance in his life.
“She [Paula Badosa] has been a very important part of my year and one that has brought me a lot of joy, a lot of confidence in my everyday life,” Tsitsipas expressed. “She is a great support, Paula. I’ve built a very good relationship with her, which is extremely important, and she is my No. 1 fan, and I am her No. 1 fan. We carry each other.”
Furthermore, Tsitsipas emphasized the need for support for Badosa from the Greek community in Australia as she prepares for her return to the WTA Tour after a substantial hiatus due to injury.
“I would like to see the Greek people support her. There isn’t such a big Spanish community in Australia, so if you guys see Paula, just make sure you support her and give her the same love and encouragement that you have been giving to me,” Tsitsipas passionately conveyed.
As Tsitsipas continues his campaign in the United Cup, his heartfelt appeal resonates as a call for solidarity and encouragement toward Badosa, emphasizing the importance of unified support within the tennis community.
