Melbourne, Australia (January 4, 2025) – As the tennis world descends upon Melbourne for the Australian Open,
Spanish star Paula Badosa has made a bold prediction: her partner, Stefanos Tsitsipas, will dominate the men’s tour in 2025.
Speaking to reporters, a confident Badosa expressed her belief that Tsitsipas is poised for a breakthrough year. “Stefanos will win the most titles in 2025,” she declared. This comes after a relatively quiet 2024 for the Greek star, who secured only one title despite his impressive talent. His career total currently stands at 11.
Badosa, herself returning from injury in 2024, also shared her own ambitions for the upcoming season. She aims to reach her first Grand Slam final, a significant milestone in her career.
The couple have been seen practicing together in Melbourne, fueling speculation about their joint potential for success. Tsitsipas has begun his preparations in earnest, hoping to live up to his partner’s high expectations.
Adding a touch of lightheartedness to the interview, Badosa also admitted to a non-tennis related goal: meeting Colombian singer Maluma.
The Australian Open, the first Grand Slam of the year, begins on Sunday 12 January AEST.
All eyes will be on Tsitsipas to see if he can deliver on Badosa’s prediction and claim his place at the top of the men’s game.
