While speaking during her post-match on-court interview after her third-round win at the 2025 Australian Open, Paula Badosa expressed her gratitude for having boyfriend Stefanos Tsitsipas in her player's box. She said that having the Greek was good for her as he had been incredibly supportive and had provided her with "amazing tips" to improve her game.

Badosa also humorously shared that Tsitsipas often gets more nervous than she does during her matches.

“Yeah, he was very supportive, giving me amazing tips like going for being aggressive. He was supporting me every point. I think he was more nervous than me but I really appreciate that, his support here. Also you guys [the crowd] were amazing today. I see Spanish flags here,” Badosa said.

In contrast, Stefanos Tsitsipas did not have a successful run at the 2025 Australian Open. He was seeded 11th in the tournament and suffered a first-round defeat to Alex Michelsen 5-7, 3-6, 6-2, 4-6.

Tsitsipas' best performance at the Grand Slam tournament was in 2023 when he finished as the runner-up, falling to Novak Djokovic in the final.
