In a playful exchange, Stefanos Tsitsipas teased his girlfriend Paula Badosa by joking about her baseline play, saying she does not have to "pay tolls" to approach the net. The Spaniard responded by sharing an image of herself playing closer to the net.
Spain's tennis federation's X account posted a video of Badosa practicing from the baseline ahead of their Billie Jean King Cup Finals campaign. Tsitsipas reshared the post writing in Badosa's native Spanish:
The 26-year-old enjoyed her boyfriend's lighthearted comment as she replied with several laughing emojis. In another reply, Badosa shared an image of herself playing much closer to the net.
Badosa and Tsitsipas, fondly known as 'Tsitsidosa,' began dating in 2023, quickly capturing fans' attention with their playful social media exchanges. After a brief breakup in May this year, the couple rekindled their romance and even made a strong impression on the court together.
Paula Badosa managed two semifinal runs in as many events during the Asian swing. She had to retire from her semifinal against Daria Kasatkina in Ningbo and later announced the end of her season by withdrawing from the Japan Open.
She will be joined by Jessica Bouzas, Nuria Parrizas Diaz, Cristina Bucsa and Sara Sorribes Tormo as Spain faces Poland in the Round of 16 this week. The winner of their match will face Czech Republic in the quarterfinal.
Meanwhile, Stefanos Tsitsipas has traveled to Turin as an alternate, along with Grigor Dimitrov, for the ATP Finals. The Greek had qualified for the year-end Championships for five consecutive years but could not do so this year.
The 2024 ATP Finals features Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, Daniil Medvedev, Alex de Minaur, Casper Ruud, Taylor Fritz, Andrey Rublev, and Alexander Zverev.
