Paula
Badosa and
Stefanos Tsitsipas revealed in an interview with Marion Bartoli some
interesting details about their relationship, including who initiated the first
kiss and who said "I love you" first, among other things.
The couple
started dating in May 2023 and is celebrating their first Valentine's Day as a
public couple. Both tennis players participated in a video where they answered
questions with closed eyes, sharing intriguing details about their
relationship.
This week,
Badosa took part in the
Qatar Open and delivered a strong performance in the
first round against Ashlyn Krueger (6-3, 4-6, 6-4) before falling in the second
round to former US Open finalist Leylah Fernandez (6-0, 2-6, 3-6).
Her
boyfriend, Stefanos Tsitsipas, was seen supporting her from the stands, and
together they took part in an interview with former Wimbledon champion Marion Bartoli,
revealing amusing details about their relationship:
Bartoli: “Who
send the first message?”
Badosa “Him,”
the Spaniard laughingly said.
Tsitsipas: "Rome
- second round against Ons Jabeur. I remember the message clearly. I said,
clinical, great tennis out there, what else…"
Badosa: "Like,
[he said] amazing performance. And I just finished the match and I saw it, and
I was like, ‘Paula, wait for an hour, play it tough.’ Five minutes and I
replied," she laughed. "Very weak."
In another
moment of the interview, Bartoli asked, "Who said I love you first?"
and quickly, Badosa pointed her finger at Tsitsipas, saying, "Him."
The Greek former world No. 3 accepted that he made the first move and said,
"I did."
