We’ve finally unlocked the Tsitsidosa origin story, and it all has to do with a text message and one jet lag-induced dream.
Published Jul 05, 2023
WATCH: Paula Badosa (ESP) expanded a bit on how the the backstory of Tsitsidosa with boyfriend Stefanos Tsitsipas (GRE) began after her first-round win at Wimbledon on Wednesday.
Talk about the power of manifesting your dreams? Power couple Paula Badosa and Stefanos Tsitsipas have opened up about how their whirlwind relationship began, and they’re proving that some dreams do become reality.
The couple officially went public after Roland Garros, where cameras snapped Badosa trying to blend into the crowd to watch one of Tsitsipas’ matches. On Wednesday, Badosa completed her own 6-3, 6-3 victory over Alison Riske-Amritraj on Court 15 and then was soon back out on Court 2 to support her boyfriend in his 3-6, 7-6 (1), 6-2, 6-7 (5), 7-6 (8) epic win against Dominic Thiem.
“It's different kind of nerves,” Badosa said of sitting in the Tsitsipas player box. “It's watching it from the outside, maybe I get a little bit more nervous because I cannot control it.
“But I'm happy that he got the win, and it was a crazy match. Happy that we both got through first round.”
Stefanos Tsitsipas on Paula Badosa attending his match:
Interviewer: “Paula made it over here after winning her match to watch you”
Stef: “Oh! I just found out. I had no idea. Congratulations” 😂

From their joint social media account “Tsitsidosa” to their recent entry into Wimbledon mixed doubles, it's safe to say tennis’ newest power couple is going strong. And now, tennis fans have been given a peek into the pair’s origin story:
Q. Stefanos said that journalists should ask how it started with him… He said you have a better [story]?
PAULA BADOSA: He already explained it, all the Rome story. Yeah, I think you mean about that I had a dream?
Yeah, well, I was injured in Australia. I watched his match, the final [against Novak Djokovic]. Of course I had jet lag because I was in Spain. I decided to watch that match.
Surprising, because I never dream about tennis players, but I dreamt about him that night, that we were both winning Australian Open.
Then it was like we were having a very romantic moment, but I'm not going to explain. I'm just going to leave it there. (Laughter.)
If you missed the Rome story, Tsitsipas was the first to reveal how he won over Badosa with a post-match congratulation text:
"It started in Rome with a message from me when she beat Ons Jabeur in the second round,” he told Greek press at Wimbledon. “I watched the match and I really liked the way she played and handled the situation against a very good clay player…
“I sent her congratulations and the whole story started like that.”
Tsitsipas, who has described the former world No. 2 as his ‘soulmate’, added that there were “so many signs” that brought them together—and when Badosa told him of her dream, it seemed like they were just “meant to happen”.
Both players advanced to the second round during a rain-affected Day 3 at Wimbledon. Badosa moved on to face Marta Kostyuk, while Tsitsipas will next take on another Grand Slam champion next in Andy Murray.
In mixed doubles, Tsitsipas and Badosa will start against the top seeds Austin Krajicek and Jessica Pegula in the first round.
