LOVED-UP Stefanos Tsitsipas and his “soul-mate” Paula Badosa are both competing at the Australian Open this year.
The power couple will take the stage in Melbourne this week with both of their eyes set on the big prize.
Who is Stefanos Tsitsipas’ girlfriend Paula Badosa?
The 26-year-old American-Spanish was ranked world No.2 by the Women’s Tennis Association in 2022.
Badosa’s junior debut began when she was only 14 years old and completed her junior career by winning the junior 2015 French Open.
In her senior career, Badosa has won three WTA Tour singles titles and reached the quarterfinals of the 2021 French Open.
The tennis star will begin her Wimbledon campaign against American Alison Riske-Amritraj.

The 25-year-old Greek national is currently ranked world No.5 by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP).
The tennis superstar has won nine ATP titles and also played in two major finals; the 2021 French Open and the 2023 Australian Open, losing both to Novak Djokovic.
One of the highest-ranked Greek tennis players, Tsitspias, is set to play Danish star Dominic Thiem to start his Wimbledon campaign.
Badosa and Tsitsipas confirmed their relationship last month and have set up a joint Instagram under the handle @tsisidosa, on which they share snaps of their relationship.
Ahead of his match against Andy Murray in the second round in 2023 he said: “She brings happiness.
“She brings happiness to me whether on or off court.
“Today [after his first round win] I felt happy that she was there and able to see it with her own eyes.
“She’s an inspiration to me, she’s someone I’ve admired for a long time on the WTA Tour and I like the way she plays, I like the way she fights and I try to implement that a bit into my game.
“Having a best friend and a soul mate to be sharing that with is the most important thing in my life right now.”
