If you’ve heard the phrase “Love Hurts”, Roland Garros is the right place to find the perfect example. Coco Gauff is hitting the glorious clay courts of Paris with a new doubles partner this time. While Katerina Siniakova proved to be a strong ally for the young American, she made fans burst into laughter with a drastic mistake in the mixed doubles.

Siniakova is leading the mixed doubles path hand in hand with the love of her life, Tomas Machac. While she appeared to be quite cautious during her women’s doubles participation with Coco Gauff, having her boyfriend beside her on the court might be a different feeling altogether. During the opening mixed doubles match against Jan Zielinski and Hsieh Su-Wei, the WTA star hit the ball in a manner that caused damage to her side of the court.

Recently, a glimpse of their mixed doubles showdown started to captivate the attention of fans on social media. In the short clip, Tomas Machac can be seen being hit by a shot attempted by his own doubles partner and girlfriend Katerina Siniakova. While his rapid response was to cover the target area of his head, he pretended to be fainting down on the clay court, giving fans a huge burst of laughter.

The adorable love story between Machac and Katerina Siniakova has been winning the hearts of the fans since 2021. Ever since the couple made their relationship known to the world, their bond is celebrated as one of the cutest couples on the tennis scene currently. While both of them joined hands together to take down their opponents at Roland Garros, it surely adds another chapter to their story. Their participation in Paris extends the purpose of “Love” introduced by Stefanos Tsitsipas.
