Tennis fans have always adored power couples in the sport. The likes of Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf or Elina Svitolina and Gael Monfils are arguably the fan’s favorite tennis couples. Now, it seems like there is a new and strong tennis couple in town that is likely to enter everyone’s list. Well, not everyone, as the fan reactions on Twitter were a mixed bag of emotions.
The new tennis couple is none other than the duo of Stefanos Tsitsipas and Paula Badosa. The fans speculated that they were together after the Greek star was dropping the Paula Badosa celebration after every victory at this year’s Roland Garros. But now, their relationship is official after their recent posts on Instagram.

Tsitsipas and Badosa first updated their individual Spotify pictures with a “couple selfie”. That was the first step. The second step was a massive one as the clips of the couple resurfaced all over Twitter. They were successful in being the talk of the town as they managed to overshadow the actual tennis that was being played at the Roland Garros. The two men’s semi-finals became a mere footnote in front of the couple’s announcement.
