Exclusive: Paula Badosa and Stefanos Tsitsipas, the tennis power couple dazzling on and off the court
The WTA and ATP tennis stars tell Olympics.com of their passion for fashion, and reveal who is the most competitive away from the sport.
Paula Badosa and Stefanos Tsitsipas love to make a statement.
The tennis stars from Spain and Greece, respectively, have been dating for almost two years as they jointly navigate their sporting careers around the world.
Former women’s world number two Badosa reached her maiden Grand Slam semi-final at the 2025 Australian Open, while former men’s world no. 3 Tsitsipas has an ATP year-end title to his name.
As a same-sport couple, they stand out from the crowd as they are. Yet when they arrived at the 2025 Laureus World Sports Awards in Madrid in crisp, matching white outfits, everyone wanted to get a glimpse of the pair known as ‘Tsitsidosa’.
“I love the idea of going all white,” Badosa told Olympics.com at the awards ceremony at the Palacio de Cíbeles. “It’s our favourite colour to dress [in], we normally dress with this type of colour. I think it gives a Greek vibe, it’s nice and I think we look good.”
“Paula is the one to ask, I have nothing to do with it!” Tsitsipas quipped when complimented on their outfits, before adding, “I feel like white in a nice environment can’t really go wrong, so the environment suits the white. It just complements everything else.”
Badosa, Tsitsipas and a strong tennis synergy
Although Badosa and Tsitsipas compete in the same sport, they are part of different organisations with distinct calendars. The WTA (women) and ATP (men) tours are not always aligned in schedule, though there are plenty of crossover events for both.
Take the Grand Slams, all four of which offer equal prize money to its male and female victors, and the next one taking place in Paris at Roland-Garros.
Two-time major finalist Tsitsipas explained, “We have different schedules as you know, [so] to have tournaments that are matched creates a good synergy of tennis and makes it much more fun when you’re on the tour.”
Playing together at the Slams gives them quality time together, as well as the chance to take to the court alongside one another.
At last year’s US Open, the pair played a mixed doubles exhibition match against USA’s Coco Gauff and Ben Shelton – Tsitsidosa won the single-set encounter 6-4.
