After the Spanish tennis star, Paula Badosa, withdrew from the Australian Open 2023, she definitely did not expect to make a comeback with headlines like this. This time around, fans on Twitter are trolling Paula, but not for her tennis. In fact, it is something as personal as her boyfriend. Yes, Paula’s boyfriend did something casual that unintentionally disturbed most of Tennis Twitter.

He read a book! And while there is no evidence that he read it, he posted a picture where the book is visible. It is none other than Donald Trump’s book. The former US President has many critics online who did not leave a chance for explanation and just swarmed in with their comments. The post by the Twitter handle @wtainshambles targeting him went viral within minutes.

Fans troll Paula Badosa over her Cuban boyfriend’s reading list

Paula Badosa’s boyfriend is the Spanish actor and model, Juan Betancourt. A few hours earlier, Juan posted a picture where he was enjoying the quarterfinals of the Lyon Open. The picture focused on the match on the screen, along with a chilled beer bottle in his hand.

However, @wtainshambles re-posted the picture with a special emphasis. They marked the book that lies on the table while Juan is enjoying the match. It is “Trump, the art of the Deal” by Donald Trump and Tony Schwartz.

Following this revelation, fans have just blasted Juan, calling him “unemployed”. 

Fans have also brought up Paula Badosa’s game and stated that she hasn’t been performing well lately owing to her boyfriend’s influence.

A Juan fan page has posted about changing their alliance soon if Juan does not explain this picture soon.

Other fans have flat-out questioned his intellect, hinting at the fact that he might not be reading the book. They think he might just be using the book for aesthetic decor.

While a majority of the tennis community has trolled Juan for reading the book by Trump, some have taken his side.

Who is Juan Betancourt?

The Cuban model and soap-opera actor Juan is a popular figure in the Spanish entertainment industry. He is also the face of advertisements for luxury brands like Gucci and Armani. Paula and Juan have been dating since 2021.

Their relationship first became official when Paula wished Juan on his 32nd birthday, calling him the “one and only”. Some of Paula’s fans are much like Naomi Osaka’s. They believe that Paula’s game is suffering on account of her relationship. Do you think that’s the case?
