Spain’s tennis star Paula Badosa was ecstatic to win a mixed
doubles exhibition match at the US Open. The fourth and the final Grand Slam of
the year will begin from August 26 where players from all over the world will participate
to showcase their talent and secure the ultimate prize.
Badosa participated in a mixed doubles exhibition contest
with her boyfriend Stefanos Tsitsipas as they defeated the pair of America’s
Coco Gauff and Ben Shelton. After that, the former world number two, in a post
on her official account on the social media platform Instagram, expressed delight
over the result and stated that it was the ‘best date ever’.

Badosa will be hoping that her recent form will help her have
an impressive run in the upcoming mega-event. The New York-born star recently
participated in the Cincinnati Open where he journey came to an end in the semifinal
as she lost to America’s Jessica Pegula with a score of 6-2, 3-6, 6-3. Before that,
she won the Citi Open after beating Marie Bouzkova in the final with a score of
6-1, 4-6, 6-4. Overall, Badosa does not have a great record while playing at
the Flashing Meadows where her best outing was playing in the second
round.
The former world number two has struggled with fitness
concerns, especially in the last 18 months which forced her to stay out of
action for more part of the 2023. On the other hand, her boyfriend Tsitsipas is
not going through a good phase in his career. His most recent appearance was
during the Cincinnati Open where he was knocked out of the tournament after
losing in the round of 16 to Britain’s Jack Draper with a score of 3-6, 6-4, 7-5.
Just like his girlfriend, Tsitsipas does not have a great record while playing at
the US Open where he has never managed to play in the fourth round and beyond.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.
mandoist08-11-2026 - Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??mandoist08-11-2026
- Wtf? Why is there no reason? And what about the men's?Bel08-11-2026
- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026
- Enough of her bullshit. Go marry someone.mandoist06-11-2026
- 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
