Although Stefanos Tsitsipas is a successful ATP player with some important trophies and matches under his belt, he just admitted that the clearest moment in his mind is the time he hugged Paula Badosa, possibly for the very first time, at Indian Wells during a Tie Break Tens mixed doubles match.

At the time, Tsitsipas teamed up with Sakkari while Badosa teamed up with Cameron Norrie. "So wholesome! Most memorable moment in my tennis career, no jokes. Lives in my head rent-free," Tsitsipas describes the moment. "This moment," Badosa reacted.

What did Badosa say after the mixed doubles event

After the mixed doubles event, Badosa was asked about the experience of teaming up with Norrie. "We know each other but maybe not that close.

It was very fun to play with him and maybe hopefully in the future we can play (again)," said Badosa in the post-match interview. Few did she know that she'll be involved romantically with her opponent Stefanos. The two recently danced together inside a gym.
