Tsitsipas supported Paula Badosa's participation in the 2023 Wimbledon amidst
her injuries.
The Spanish
tennis player was gradually finding her form in the clay court tournaments but
had to take a break after her quarterfinal defeat to Jelena Ostapenko at the
Rome Open.
Badosa
shared on her social media accounts at that time that she had suffered a stress
fracture in a vertebra, which caused her to miss the French Open and not
compete in the grass-court season. Still uncertain, the former world No. 2 will
wait until the end to see if her recovery allows her to be present at the third
Grand Slam of the year:
“Slowly
getting better and stating to do some workouts. Having everyday treatment for
hours and trying my best to try to get to Wimbledon on minimum conditions. I’m
really missing it a lot, luckily having the best people around me... that helps
me,” said Badosa on Wimbledon.
In an
interview with AS, Stefanos Tsitsipas was asked about his girlfriend's
participation, and although he left some uncertainty, he said that it wouldn't
surprise him if she played, giving a positive indication regarding Badosa's
involvement:
“It is a
question for Paula. But if she had to say something, she has a lot of
determination. She won't surprise me if she plays,” he said.
Stefanos
Tsitsipas entered Wimbledon as the fifth seed and will face 2020 US Open
champion Dominic Thiem in the first round. The Greek player has never had a
notable performance at Wimbledon, with his best result being reaching the
fourth round in 2018, where he was eliminated by John Isner in three sets.
Badosa had
her best performance at Wimbledon last year, reaching the round of 16 before
losing to former Wimbledon champion Simona Halep. For this edition, she was
drawn to face world No. 140 Alison Riske in the first round and could
potentially meet Greek player Maria Sakkari in the second round.
