Stefanos Tsitsipas and his girlfriend Paula Badosa, shared a warm moment on TV during the 2024 Paris Masters. The Greek at the time was at his post-match interview after his 3R match against Francisco Cerundolo.
Despite her season being over at the WTA Tour, Badosa has been spotted in Bercy, supporting Tsitsipas during the latter's matches. She constantly encouraged the Greek during his third round match where he had to comeback from a first set deficit to win 6-7 (1), 6-4, 6-2.
When asked about Tsitsipas's performance, Badosa hailed him and complimented the Greek on his mentality and composure.
"I am really proud of how he fought through that, especially the mental side it is never easy and also when you have all the pressure and expectations in this kind of matches, so I think he did great" said Badosa during the interview on Tennis Channel (via X formerly Twitter)
Tsitsipas is slated to take on World No. 3 Alexander Zverev in the quarterfinals. This will be the Greek player's fourth quarterfinal appearance at Bercy, having reached the last-eight stages of the previous two editions and in 2019.
Stefanos Tsitsipas is still in the hunt for a spot for the ATP Finals in Turin while Paula Badosa's 2024 season is over
Stefanos Tsitsipas is still in contention for making the top 8 cut to qualify for the ATP finals in Turin. The Greek currently is at the 11th spot with 3165 points, but winning the title in Bercy will give him a big boost, taking his points tally to 3965 and placing him within the top 8.
The Greek player has qualified for the year-ending championship for the last five years, winning the title in 2018, where he defeated Dominic Thiem in the final.
For Paula Badosa, the 2024 season has come to an end. Even though the Spaniard had a tough time winning matches in the first part of the year as she was coming back from injury, she turned it around in the second half. She won her fourth career title, winning the Citi Open, and reaching the semifinals of the Cincinnati Open, China Open, and the Ningbo Open. She also had a great run at the US Open, where she lost out to Emma Navarro.
