The Greek tennis star expressed his unwavering commitment to Badosa as his mixed doubles partner, stating that she is the only female player he would consider sharing the court with.

Stefanos Tsitsipas has confirmed his participation in the 2025 US Open mixed doubles event alongside his girlfriend, Paula Badosa. The Greek tennis star expressed his excitement about competing with Badosa, stating that she is the mixed doubles partner he would always choose to play with. Tsitsipas emphasized that he has no other options or female players he would prefer to team up with, highlighting the strong bond and chemistry they share on the court.

The announcement comes as the US Open organizers have introduced significant changes to the mixed doubles format, aiming to attract more top singles players to participate. The revamped format includes a condensed schedule, with the event taking place over two days during the qualifying week. Matches will adopt a best-of-three sets format, with games played to four and no-ad scoring. The prize money for the event has also been increased dramatically, with the 2025 champions set to receive $1 million, a substantial jump from the $200,000 awarded to last year’s winners.

Tsitsipas and Badosa, affectionately known as “Tsitsidosa” by their fans, have previously competed together in mixed doubles events. Last year, they participated in the US Open’s Mixed Madness exhibition, where they emerged victorious. However, their official mixed doubles debut at the US Open ended in a first-round exit. Despite this setback, the couple remains optimistic about their chances in the upcoming tournament, hoping to leverage their experience and strong partnership to achieve better results.

The inclusion of high-profile singles players like Tsitsipas and Badosa in the mixed doubles event is expected to generate significant interest and excitement among tennis fans. The US Open’s decision to revamp the format and increase the prize money has been met with mixed reactions, with some doubles specialists expressing concerns about the impact on their opportunities. Nevertheless, the changes are aimed at enhancing the overall appeal of the mixed doubles event and attracting a broader audience.

As the 2025 US Open approaches, all eyes will be on Tsitsipas and Badosa as they prepare to compete in the reimagined mixed doubles tournament. Their participation not only adds star power to the event but also underscores the growing trend of top singles players embracing the mixed doubles format. Tennis enthusiasts eagerly await the couple’s performance, hoping to witness their unique blend of skill, strategy, and camaraderie on the grand stage of the US Open.
