Tennis star Paula Badosa was seen sharing a heartfelt embrace with her boyfriend, Stefanos Tsitsipas, after the former’s second-round win in the French Open 2025. The world number 10 has defeated Elena Gabriela Ruse with a scoreline of 3-6, 6-4, 6-4 and made it to the third round. Badosa is set to face 17th seed Daria Kasatkina in the third round of the marquee event.
The star player had an awful start to the game as she faltered badly in the first set, allowing her opponent to take the lead. However, Badosa showcased her stellar form and staged her comeback to win the second and third sets to advance to the next round of the major clay.
As Badosa stormed into the third round of the French Open 2025, ATP star Stefanos Tsitsipas was making his presence in the box from start to finish, and he met her in the indoor area of the French Open. The two were seen exchanging a warm hug. The Greek star then helped his girlfriend by picking up and carrying her racquet bag.
Stefanos Tsitsipas crashed out of the French Open
Meanwhile, Greek sensation Stefanos Tsitsipas has crashed out of the French Open 2025. Qualifier star Matteo Gigante defeated the 26-year-old tennis star with a scoreline of 6-4, 5-7, 6-2, 6-4 in the second round of the Roland Garros.
“One thing I have dealt (with) the last couple of years that I wasn’t so much facing before were the injuries that popped up. Psychologically, they did a lot of harm to me. There are a lot of different things that kind of came up after those injuries which made me feel a little discomfort—made me lose a little bit of hope in terms of how my body can respond to certain situations and the demands of the tour that are constant,” Tsitsipas said during his post-match press conference.
