Paula Badosa is making the most of her time away from the tennis court. She recently traveled to the home city of her boyfriend Stefanos Tsitsipas.

Badosa and Tsitsipas have become the most high-profile power couple in the tennis world. The couple went public in May 2023 and have been open about their relationship ever since. They routinely share photographs of their time together on vacations and tournaments, on their joint Instagram account called 'Tsitsidosa.'

After visiting Stefanos Tsitsipas' hometown, Athens, Paula Badosa posted a carousel of images from her time there on her personal Instagram account. She also added a famous quote attributed to Plato, the ancient Greek philosopher.

"In Athens to love and to be loved is held to be a very honourable thing - Plato," the caption read.

The post was shared in collaboration with another Instagram account, Stiopkyn, which has been pegged as an anonymous account of Tsitsipas, hinting that the couple is touring the place together.

Badosa and Tsitsipas were most recently spotted in New York, where the latter participated in the US Open. The World No. 5's campaign at Flushing Meadows ended in the second round at the hands of Swiss qualifier Dominic Stricker.

Badosa did not play the US Open due to the spinal stress fracture that she suffered in May 2023.

Stefanos Tsitsipas has frequently talked about Paula Badosa's influence on both his personal and professional goals. The 25-year-old recently reiterated in an interview with the Greek publication Kathimerini that Badosa has changed the way he sees his future in tennis.

"Having (Paula Badosa) in my life helps me a lot. It has changed my approach to the sport (tennis) in a way I never would have expected," Tsitsipas said.

He claimed that his addiction to becoming the World No.1 tennis player, which used to be his aim during his early years, has deprived him of achieving other goals in his life.

While the Greek still thinks about these things frequently, he is attempting to balance his personal and professional lives with his girlfriend at the center of it all.

"I certainly think about it a lot, but the top isn’t everything. I was addicted to this target when I was younger and this deprived me of something. The key is finding a balance between your private life, building something with someone, and moving ahead in your career with that person’s help," Tsitsipas said.
