"He never said hi, I was like what's wrong with him": Badosa reveals her and Tsitsipas never really spoke before relationship blossomed

Paula Badosa revealed her first impression of Stefanos Tsitsipas before their relationship.

The tennis couple made their relationship public a few weeks ago, sharing a series of photos and videos on social media. Recently, during a live Instagram session, Paula Badosa was asked if she and Stefanos Tsitsipas were friends before they started their relationship.

The Spanish player, currently ranked world No. 34, mentioned that the Greek tennis player had never greeted her whenever they crossed paths during tournaments throughout the tour:

"He never said hi to me, I was like what's wrong with him. He was like passing by me and not even like looking at me, not even like hi, hello, or good morning or whatever, nada nothing," Badosa said.

"Now he is saying hi atleast or something, can't complain," she added.

The revelation from Badosa comes a few days after Tsitsipas commented on why he is so open about their relationship, as they have faced trolling on social media

"The truth is that I haven't really been too vocal about stuff like this or exposing myself I guess too much, but when you know, you don't really care. You know, it feels right, it feels natural. There's no shame. So it's just like family. It's just as if you are sharing moments with your family. It's absolutely the same," 2-time Grand Slam finalist said.

"It feels natural, there's no shame": Tsitsipas hits back at criticism of PDA heavy relationship with Badosa

The couple is taking a few days off from tournaments after Wimbledon. Badosa exited in the second round after retiring while trailing in the score against Marta Kostyuk (6-2, 1-0 in favor of the Ukrainian). The former Indian Wells champion once again faced physical issues with her back, but she is listed as a participant in the WTA 500 Washington event in two weeks.

Meanwhile, Tsitsipas will be playing in the ATP 250 Los Cabos Open during the same week, where he is the top seed. He will be facing tough opponents such as Karen Khachanov, Cameron Norrie, Alex de Minaur, Tommy Paul, and Nicolas Jarry.
