Paula Badosa gets emotional visiting birth hospital in New York in Tsitsidosa outing

Spain’s tennis star Paula Badosa gets emotional during her
visit to birth hospital in New York.
The 25-year-old was in the city to support her boyfriend
Greece’s tennis star Stefanos Tsitsipas during the ongoing US Open whose
journey in the competition came to an end after suffering a defeat to
Switzerland’s Dominic Stephan Stricker in the second round with a score of 7-5,
6-7, 6-7, 7-6, 6-3.
During the off day, Badosa roamed around the city and
visited the hospital of her birth. While doing that, she got emotional as well.
"25 years ago! 25 year 26 almost… my hospital," she said during the
visit.
Badosa is continuing her recovery from a back injury that
she sustained during the second round against Marta Kostyuk at Wimbledon 2023.
It is because of that she had to retire in the match and
that injury has also stopped her from participating in the ongoing US Open.
Badosa will be hoping that the ongoing lengthy injury layoff
will help her return to action stronger than ever as she continues her journey
towards winning her first major title.

- Great article! I began cheering for the “real” doubles specialists at the beginning but once they all lost their respective matches I really didn’t care who actually won the whole tournament. I liked the last four teams in the semifinals and would have enjoyed seeing any of them win the trophy! Not sure it really feels like a TRUE Grand Slam win however (and I know history will say it is!). Happy for Muchova/Mensik. Karolina is now a Grand Slam winner.DaveyWavey27-08-2026

- All the men dropping like flies. Something’s gotta be done with the tournament calendar or many more players will be on the sidelines in the near future. Surprised Carlos is back as soon as he is. Get well soon Sinner, Draper, Fokina, Rune, etc. etc. etc……DaveyWavey25-08-2026
- I want Pegula to surprise as a one-slam wonder winning in New York. She would then jump over the other three ladies for a number one ranking! I’d put my money on the two American girlies, Jessica and Coco to win in New York. Rybakina cannot seem to perform under this kind of pressure and Sabalenka appears in an anger fog ATM.DaveyWavey24-08-2026
- Well said, Andy. I got sick of Nick carrying on and on and on about Sinner. He absolutely refused to look at the facts. Now look at him. Karma is real!!!Rapunzel23-08-2026
