In private life, everything seems to be fine, but on the tennis court, Paula Badosa has plenty of problems.
After a nearly two-month absence, the former world number two is back in competition, but unfortunately his return tournament, Wimbledon, did not go well for him either.
Before that, she last competed in Rome, where she reached the quarter-finals by beating Ons Jabeur and eventual Roland Garros finalist Karolina Muchova before being beaten by Elena Ostapenko in the last eight. It wasn’t long before it was discovered that he had suffered a fatigue fracture in his spine, so he would miss several weeks.
Then at Wimbledon he solved the first round smoothly, advancing with an easy 6:3, 6:3 against Alison Riske, so everything seemed to be fine. Then came the second round and the match against Marta Kostyuk, where she dropped the first set 6:2, and then in the second the Ukrainian led 1:0 when, after some grooming, she finally gave up the meeting due to back pain.
The current world number 35 would have remained with mixed doubles with Stefanos Tsitsipas at his side. However, the Spaniard decided that he could not take on the game with the Greek, who has been his partner not only on the pitch, but also in life for some time.
To their delight, they recently opened a joint Instagram account called Tsitsidosa. It seems that not only the relationship is successful, but also the new site, as they already have more than 62 thousand followers.
We regret that they will not be able to play together, which could mean that the tournament is over for Tsitsipas. For that not to be the case, he would have to turn his match around against Andy Murray.
