Paula Badosa hit back after being caught on camera at the Cincinnati Open.
Paula Badosa hit back when she was questioned for holding hands with Stefanos Tsitsipas in the gym
Paula Badosa hit back at a fan who questioned her for failing to keep her relationship private.
The Spaniard has been dating Stefanos Tsitsipas since last May, barring a brief split earlier this year.
After they were caught on camera holding hands during a cool-down in the Cincinnati Open gym, Badosa slammed one viewer for failing to inform themselves and urged them to “chill”.
‘Tsitsidosa’ are among several power couples in the tennis world, joining the likes of Elina Svitolina and Gael Monfils, and Katie Boulter and Alex De Minaur. They first confirmed their relationship via Spotify last year.
They briefly broke up this spring and, when they reconciled, Badosa admitted that their relationship had previously been too public and said they would keep things more private. But, after cameras filmed the couple stretching together in the gym, one fan tried to call her out.
The video, shared by the ATP’s Tennis TV account and retweeted by Tsitsipas, showed the ATP No. 11 and the recent Washington champion lying on separate mats with their legs in the air as they reached out to hold hands.
One follower commented: “When they got back together they said, ‘I mean, it’s our private life. I think one of the things that we didn’t like is that it was very public, so now we want to keep it to ourselves.’ So why don’t they.”
And Badosa quickly clapped back. “Unfortunately we didn’t know there were cameras there. I just finished my match, nobody was in the gym, we were just stretching and chatting after my win. So please, before all this judgement and talking inform yourselfs and chill a bit. Thanks,” she replied.
The Spaniard is letting her tennis do the talking in Cincinnati this week. She is through to the semi-final to face No. 6 seed Jessica Pegula. It’s her first semi-final at WTA 1000 level since Indian Wells 2022.

Badosa has also ensured that she will be seeded at the US Open after thanks to her run so far. The 26-year-old was ranked outside of the top 100 less than two months ago after struggling with a back injury but is set to return to the top 30.
However, Tsitsipas didn’t fare as well in Cincinnati. Britain’s Jack Draper ousted the ninth seed in the second round.
