Fans love newest power couple

Tsitsipas was all smiles as he talked about Badosa during his on-court interview with BBC’s Karthi Gnanasegaram following his epic win against Dominic Thiem.

The Spanish star watched her boyfriend record a 3-6, 7-6 (1), 6-2, 6-7 (5), 7-6 (8) victory over Thiem in a match that lasted three hours and 56 minutes.

When the presenter informed Tsitsipas that Badosa also won in her first-round match against Alison Riske-Amritraj, he laughed and sent his congratulations to his beloved, according to People.

Badosa addressed the Greek star’s remarks by putting her hands together in the shape of a heart, much to the crowd’s delight.

He also talked about his upcoming doubles matches with his brother Petros and his superstar girlfriend, saying:

“It’s honestly a pleasure to be doing this with people, some of them have entered my life recently, and I would have never done it if wasn’t for that, so Paulita, let's do it!”

Whirlwind romance for 'Tsitsidosa'

It has been a whirlwind romance for the two tennis stars, who first revealed that they were dating during the French Open last month.

Fans were alerted to the possible pairing when Badosa was spotted in Paris during Tsitsipas’ fourth-round match of the French Open, per Tennis.com.

Badosa withdrew ahead of the clay Grand Slam due to a spinal stress fracture, but she was there watching the Greek star at Roland Garros.

They launched a joint Instagram account called 'Tsitsidosa' to show their fans the latest happenings in their blossoming romance.

Among the uploads on their social media account were them exercising together in a swimming pool and a photo carousel of their vacation in Dubai.
