Paula Badosa & Stefanos Tsitsipas Enjoy NBA Action Ahead of Miami Open

Tennis couple Paula Badosa and Stefanos Tsitsipas took a break from their Miami Open preparations to enjoy an NBA game courtside. The duo attended the matchup between the Miami Heat and Detroit Pistons, soaking in the high-energy atmosphere before their respective tournament campaigns begin.

Tsitsipas & Badosa: A Strong Bond On & Off the Court

Badosa and Tsitsipas, affectionately known as “Tsitsidosa”, began dating in June 2023 and briefly split in May 2024 before rekindling their relationship. Their bond extends beyond just personal life—they even played mixed doubles together at the 2024 French Open.

While Tsitsipas enters Miami after a fourth-round exit at Indian Wells, Badosa returns following a short injury break. Despite the setback, both players have had strong starts to the season:

• Badosa reached the Australian Open semifinals.
• Tsitsipas silenced critics by winning the Dubai Tennis Championships, defeating Felix Auger-Aliassime 6-3, 6-3 in the final.

Road Ahead in Miami Open

Both stars will be among the top 10 seeds in the Miami Open:

• Tsitsipas, seeded 9th, begins his campaign in the second round against Chun Hsin Tseng.
• Badosa, seeded 10th, faces Victoria Mboko in her opening match.

Tsitsipas on Badosa’s Cooking & Finding Joy Beyond Tennis

Beyond tennis, Tsitsipas recently shared how he has been exploring cooking with Badosa. Speaking at the Dubai Tennis Championships, the Greek player praised his girlfriend’s cooking skills, calling it one of the simple joys in his life.

“Lately, a lot of cooking. I enjoy cooking. I have a lovely girlfriend who started cooking for me. I’m having a great time cooking and chatting at the same time.”

He also mentioned his love for outdoor activities, including walks and mini golf, to keep himself refreshed off the court.

Chasing Miami Success

As Tsitsipas makes his seventh appearance in Miami and Badosa returns for the eighth time, both will be looking to go beyond the quarterfinal stage—a milestone neither has surpassed at this event.
