Paula Badosa side-eyes Stefanos Tsitsipas’ father 

During the 25-year-old Greek tennis player’s first-round clash against Lucas Pouille, both his girlfriend and his father were present in the audience to support him. While he achieved the victory and made it to the second round of the tournament, there was a moment between the matches that made headlines. During the thrill competition, Badosa was seen giving a side eye to Apostolos Tsitsipas.

Apostolos appeared to be deep into the match when he turned around, and the Spanish tennis player who was sitting at a distance from him gave a long stare, just like the one she gave at Wimbledon. Yes, even though she is close to the great tennis player’s family, she has given the side eye before.

This is not the first time the former world number 2 has given a side eye to her boyfriend’s father. Last year during Wimbledon, the same thing happened, and it created an odd situation surrounding the equation between Badosa and her boyfriend’s father. The incident took place during the second round of the tournament when he achieved a victory against Andy Murray.

Last year, during an Instagram live session, Paula Badosa engaged in an honest talk about a variety of topics. Among them, Badosa used the occasion to talk about an odd occurrence that received notice on social media. She dealt with the incident in which she was seen on camera appearing to give Apostolos Tsitsipas the “side-eye.”

She stated, “I love his dad. I love Apo (Apostolos). The match started. It was the third point, I think. I was just thinking my own stuff and everything. I was just looking there. After 5 minutes, it went viral. They were ‘for sure, she hates him’ I was ‘oops, this is getting viral” We have an amazing relationship, all of us, the Badosa and Tsitsipas family.”
