Dating since May 2023, Stefanos Tsitsipas and Paula Badosa have been one of the most talked about tennis couples in the world.

At the moment only one of the pair is still at the Australian Open 2025. Paula Badosa entered the event as the 11th seed and has reached the third round. She won her first two matches against Wang Xinyu (6-3, 7-6 (5)) and Talia Gibson (6-1, 6-0). She will play against 17th-seeded Marta Kostyuk in the third round.

Stefanos Tsitsipas's form has been on the decline since the latter half of 2024. The Greek player, who is a former finalist at Melbourne, was the 11th seed this time. However, he lost in the very first round, losing 5-7, 3-6, 6-2, and 4-6 against Alex Michelsen.

#1 Anna Kalinskaya- Jannik Sinner

Jannik Sinner and Anna Kalinskaya have been one of the talked about tennis couples in the last year since the Italian announced their relationship in May last year.

However, fortunes have gone completely in the opposite direction for both of them at the Australian Open. Kalinskaya had to withdraw from the tournament before her first-round match against Kimberly Birrell. This would mean that the Russian player would lose a lot of points as she made a quarterfinal run in Melbourne last year.

Meanwhile, Sinner who is the defending champion and the top seed has reached the third round in Melbourne. He opened his campaign with a 7-6 (2), 7-6 (5), 6-1 over Nicolas Jarry in the first round, following it up with a 4-6, 6-4, 6-1, 6-3 over Tristan Schoolkate in the second round.
