Stefanos Tsitsipas has shared that Paula Badosa’s father, Josep Badosa, is his biggest fan on tour. The Greek was last seen competing at the Barcelona Open, where he lost to Arthur Fils in the quarterfinal.
Tstisipas entered Barcelona after a solid quarterfinal appearance in Monte-Carlo. However, after cruising past Reilly Opelka and Sebastian Korda in the first two rounds, he was forced to retire mid-match against Arthur Fils due to injury.
The 26-year-old mentioned that Paula Badosa’s father, Josep Badosa, is his biggest fan on the ATP tour. He hailed Josep’s dedication during a candid interview with the ATP.
“Josep Badosa, Paula’s father. He keeps wearing this Team Tsitsipas just everywhere he goes. There is this one t-shirt that I gave him, he just wears it everywhere,” Stefanos Tsitsipas said
Stefanos Tsitsipas has been in a relationship with Paula Badosa since June 2023. The duo got closer during the 2023 Italian Open and made their relationship official a month later via social media.
Josep Badosa usually maintains a low profile but was present courtside during Paula Badosa’s fourth-round match in the China Open last year. After edging past Jessica Pegula in straight sets, the Spaniard opened up about her equation with her father and thanked him for guiding her in the right direction over the years.
“It never happened, but it’s the first time when my father is here and I want to dedicate this because he never comes on tournaments. He’s out there so, I wouldn’t be here without him so he’s very special and I owe him so much.” Paula Badosa said
