Stefanos Tsitsipas Playfully Teases Paula Badosa Ahead of Miami Open
Stefanos Tsitsipas couldn’t resist leaving a playful comment on Paula Badosa’s latest social media post, as the Spanish star shared behind-the-scenes footage from her Miami Open preparations.
After dealing with a lower back injury that forced her withdrawal from Indian Wells, Badosa is eager to kickstart her 2025 season in Miami, where she will face Canada’s Victoria Mboko in her opening match.
Excited for her return, Badosa posted a video on Instagram featuring practice sessions with Ons Jabeur, off-court moments, and a warm embrace with Tsitsipas. Captioning the post, she wrote:
“Behind the scenes at @miamiopen 📹☀️🌴”
Tsitsipas wasted no time responding, teasing his girlfriend with a short but affectionate comment:
“Stop goofing around 😘,” he wrote.
While Badosa prepares for her Miami campaign, Tsitsipas is also focused on his upcoming match against Tseng Chun-hsin, aiming to bounce back from his round of 16 loss to Holger Rune at Indian Wells.
Paula Badosa Hints at Early Retirement Amid Injury Struggles
Injury setbacks have plagued Paula Badosa’s career, and she has openly admitted to struggling with confidence at major tournaments. Following her Australian Open semifinal run, she reflected on her journey, acknowledging that a year ago, she wasn’t sure she’d even continue playing.
“A year ago, I was here… I didn’t know if I’d have to retire from the sport. I won today. I’m in the semi-finals. I would never think a year later I would be here,” she said in an emotional on-court interview.
Despite ongoing injury concerns, Badosa believes she has gained better control over her emotions and mindset.
“I am a bit emotional, overcoming something like this. Today, I wanted to play my best game. Coco (Gauff), at the beginning, played intense tennis, but I am super proud of the level I gave today. I have been through a lot. In the past, I was one of the best players in the world, but now I am a better player, more mature. I manage my emotions a little better.”
Currently ranked No. 11, Badosa is on the verge of breaking back into the top 10, with a narrow gap between her and Emma Navarro.
