“I’m just here for the handshake”: Paula Badosa and Stefanos Tsitsipas set for awkward reunion, back-to-back on Rome Open practice courts after breakup

Paula Badosa and Stefanos Tsitsipas could be set for an awkward reunion on Monday as the Rome Open seemed to choose maximum drama with their practice court placings.

Both players are still involved in Rome with Badosa playing Gauff later today. Tsitsipas is set for a tie with Cameron Norrie. But as a result, they both need to practice this morning. Albeit both got put on the same court straight after each other so will likely meet as they leave the court.

This comes a week after their breakup with it seeming pretty amicable. But both also unfollowed each other on Instagram heralding that perhaps all wasn’t rosy after all. Social media users lapped this funny placing up saying that they are here for the handshake and that Rome chose violence. The original tweet also features the viral Zoolander clip of Ben Stiller looking at Owen Wilson on the red carpet in slo-mo.
