"Has already had it with his father": Badosa spotted giving Tsitsipas' father Apostolos side eye during Murray Wimbledon clash
Tennis NewsSaturday, 08 July 2023 at 19:58
Tennis fans
enjoyed Paula Badosa's reaction to Stefanos Tsitsipas' father at 2023
Wimbledon.
The Spanish
player was present at her boyfriend Tsitsipas' match against Andy Murray in the
second round of Wimbledon. The match had to be suspended after the completion
of the third set, with Murray leading 6-7(3), 7-6(2), 6-4.
Television
cameras captured Badosa in Tsitsipas' box, and she reacted with a gesture when
she saw Tsitsipas' father. Apostolos Tsitsipas, the father of the world No. 5,
is also his coach and has been seen training with Paula Badosa.
The
exchange was shared on social media, and tennis fans commented on the situation:
“Things are
about to get spicy this is good for Stef though, I never liked his father. His
father is actually the reason why he's never been able to challenge for no.1,”
one fan tweeted.
“She is all
of us. Hopefully she is the one who convinces Stef he is wasting away his
talent under his father’s tutelage,” another fan echoed.
“OMG, when
did this happen. It looks like Apo was about to do something n then stopped
when it crossed his mind that Stef's gf was there I wonder what he was trying
to do ? Did he have a phone or something?
Paula
Badosa was recently forced to retire from her match against Ukrainian player
Marta Kostyuk at Wimbledon while trailing 2-6, 0-1. The former Indian Wells
champion has been dealing with injuries in recent months, which kept her out of
competition since the quarterfinals of the Rome Open.
Without the
necessary match practice or experience on grass, she made the decision to
compete at Wimbledon despite not being fully fit. After defeating Alison Riske
in the first round, Badosa had to withdraw from the tournament, ending with a
poorer performance compared to last year when she reached the fourth round.
