"Has already had it with his father": Badosa spotted giving Tsitsipas' father Apostolos side eye during Murray Wimbledon clash
Tennis News
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.

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.
mandoist05-11-2026 - Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026
