Badosa and Tsitsipas: Mixed Doubles and Mutual Support at the US Open

Paula Badosa's recent return to the WTA tour has been marked by both challenges and triumphs. After a back injury forced her to withdraw from Indian Wells, she battled through a tough three-set match against rising star Victoria Mboko at the Miami Open. Badosa's candid remark during the match, stating that Mboko 'plays better than Aryna Sabalenka,' highlights the level of competition she faced.

Beyond her singles play, the question of Badosa's participation in the mixed doubles at the US Open with Stefanos Tsitsipas has garnered attention. Their partnership is a known entity, having competed together at last year's US Open. Tsitsipas's firm statement that Badosa is his only preferred mixed doubles partner underscores their strong on-court chemistry.

The 2025 US Open introduces a new mixed doubles format, potentially favoring teams with high combined singles rankings, a category Badosa and Tsitsipas easily fit into. Off the court, Badosa has emphasized the valuable support and understanding she and Tsitsipas offer one another, sharing advice and emotional support during challenging times.

Badosa responded with "maybe," indicating it depends on their physical condition and singles focus.

Yes, they played together at the 2024 US Open, losing in the first round.

The 2025 format will be played over two days during the first week, with eight of the 16 teams entering directly based on their combined singles ranking.
