The 2024 season didn’t start particularly well for the tennis couple. Stefanos Tsitsipas got knocked out of the AO at the hands of America’s Taylor Fritz in the fourth round of the tournament. Although he reached the semis of the Los Cabos Open and QF of the Mexican Open, the Greek tennis star saw his rank drop to the 11th spot in men’s singles rankings. This was the first time he got placed outside of the Top 10 since March 2019.

Even for Badosa, lack of form and frequent injuries have impacted her performances on the court in the last few months. Both now look forward to making their mark at the 2024 Indian Wells. A few hours ago, they were spotted kissing each other before sweating it up on the court during practice.

Talking about practice, Stefanos Tsitsipas, rather surprisingly, was seen practicing with Daniil Medvedev ahead of the Indian Wells tournament, with whom he had had a fallout previously. The feud dates back to when the duo played their first match together. But as things look like they have perhaps buried the hatchet, and things seem to be going well in California. 

Tsitsipas loves playing in California. He previously stated, “California is a great place for tennis with great weather and ideal conditions. When it comes to organizing things for players [it is great].For now, however, plenty remains to be proven for the tennis duo.
