The close friendship between tennis beauties Aryna Sabalenka and Paula Badosa is a well-known fact. Although the 2 WTA stars are rivals on the tennis court, they have developed a strong bond and do not miss an opportunity to express their love and affection for each other. Glimpses of their camaraderie are often seen during practice sessions on the tour and as displayed on their social media handles.

The tennis world has been buzzing over the love story of Paula Badosa and Greek ATP ace Stefanos Tsitsipas ever since the couple made their relationship public. Now, it was the turn of Badosa’s Belarusian friend Aryna Sabalenka to let her feelings known about the love-struck couple. Here’s what she had to say about ‘Tsitsidosa’.?

Reigning Australian Open champion Aryna Sabalenka has made her way to the quarter-finals of the ongoing Wimbledon Championships after a string of convincing victories in the first week of the tournament. She is slated to face American Madison Keys in the quarter-finals next. However, she did not forget to make her feelings known for close friend Paula Badosa and her budding romance with Stefanos Tsitsipas.

In an interview with Tennis Channel following her 3rd round victory at Wimbledon, Sabalenka sent out a heartfelt message for Badosa when asked about lovebirds Tsitsipas and Badosa. “Oh it’s a love story.. It’s so beautiful and I’m super happy for Paula.. Looks like, I mean, I spoke to her and she is super happy and I’m happy for her..”, she said.

The Belarusian is currently dating former ice hockey player Konstantin Kolstov, and unlike the public joint Instagram account of Badosa and Tsitsipas named ‘tsitsidosa’, she has a second private Instagram account called ‘private_saby_’. On being asked about what she posts on her private account, Sabalenka quirkily replied, “Umm, so that’s why it’s private! I’m not going to tell you!”

Unfortunately, the Wimbledon campaign for both Stefanos Tsitsipas and Paula Badosa has ended, unlike that of Aryna Sabalenka. However, the pair’s PDA game is still going strong even after their Wimbledon exit.

This year’s Wimbledon hopes are all but over for ‘Tsitsidosa’ after Stefanos Tsitsipas crashed out of the championships to American Christopher Eubanks in the round of 16 and Paula Badosa had to retire from her second-round match due to injury. Badosa’s injury also meant that the duo had to withdraw from their scheduled mixed doubles match at SW19. But that hasn’t put any dent in the couple’s ever-growing love and affection for each other.

The pair posted pictures of themselves on their Instagram account, enjoying each other’s company while having dinner and strolling along Hyde Park during sunset.
