Stefanos Tsitsipas and Paula Badosa are quickly becoming the power couple of the tennis world. Their chemistry on and off the court has fans swooning, especially after their remarkable win at the US Open Mixed Madness. It’s clear that their bond is growing stronger, but as they dive deeper into this professional journey together, one question lingers: are they truly prepared for the challenges ahead? Well, if you’re wondering where Badosa might be drawing her inspiration, you wouldn’t be wrong to think it’s from someone great.
Badosa and Tsitsipas engaged in an on-court interview ahead of their exhibition match. Speaking in the interview, Badosa reflected on how she wishes to manage her personal life along with her professional endeavors and expressed that she desires to take inspiration from tennis great Andre Agassi.
Chatting in the interview, Badosa said, “This (partnership with Tsitsipas) could be very tricky. I think tonight is the test. But I think we are gonna get some inspiration from Andre Agassi. I think he knows very well to do that.” She further said that the fans would soon realize “who is the boss tonight,” and she stood true to her words.

As she made the statement, Agassi himself was seen standing on the courts, who had a clear smile on his face. Remember, Andre Agassi has played several exhibition matches with his wife Steffi Graf as the duo have reached the heights of the tennis world together. Fortunately, Badosa and Tsitsipas were successful enough to follow in their footsteps and they passed the test in the match.

“Criticism is never easy to deal with, although sometimes we find it funny because people don’t realize that we are two people who share the same passion,” Badosa said. Earlier, Tsitsipas had also reflected similar sentiments and said that some people get ‘fun’ by attempting to ruin happy relationships.
As the couple now prepares for another journey together, it would be interesting to see if they can prove the critics wrong and achieve big success at the US Open.
