In Pictures: Stefanos Tsitsipas and girlfriend Paula Badosa can't stop smiling as they go on Italian dinner date surrounded by team and family
Stefanos Tsitsipas and his girlfriend Paula Badosa shared glimpses from a dinner date this week. The couple shared their night with their team and families.
Badosa ended her 2024 season early, withdrawing from the Pan Pacific Open, citing health issues. Before this, she reached the semifinals of the Ningbo Open, although, she gave a walkover to Daria Kasatkina after the first set. She took a medical timeout, following which she retired with the score at 6-4.
Tsitsipas, on the other hand, concluded his season after competing at the Paris Masters, where he advanced to the quarterfinals before losing to Alexander Zverev 7-5, 6-4. The couple is currently in their off-season and was seen enjoying a special date.
Tsitsipas shared a picture on his Instagram story, which showed two full-sized pizzas with Tsitsipas and Badosa's names written on them.
Meanwhile, a video shared on X (formerly Twitter) by a fan showed the couple enjoying their date with the team in a restaurant, where Badosa couldn't stop smiling as she observed the chef in action.
Here are some more updates of their Italian dinner with their team and family:
Paula Badosa and Stefanos Tsitsipas talk about meeting each other for the first time
Paula Badosa and Stefanos Tsitsipas posed together for HOLA magazine in October 2024. They also sat in an interview with the magazine and opened up about their significance in each other's lives. The Greek player opened up about falling in love with the Spaniard at first sight, and said:
"The first time I noticed Paula was when I saw her at the 2020 Australian Open, playing on center court. It was love at first sight and I was completely mesmerized."
Following this, Badosa also opened up about how Tsitsipas entered her life and made things easier for her when she was going through a bad phase in her career because of her back injury. She said,
"I met Stef just after I got injured. It was one of the hardest seasons for me, because I had never gone so many months without playing tennis, and he gave me the happiness, support, and fresh air, that I so needed at that time. The truth is that I felt very lucky that some light came into my life at such a dark time."
Paula Badosa has won four WTA Tour singles titles in her career, while Tsitsipas has won 11 singles titles.
