Tennis couple Stefanos Tsitsipas and Paula Badosa will be trying their luck in the mixed doubles draw at Wimbledon starting from Friday, July 7.

The tennis professionals' love life has been the talk of the tennis world for some time now. Besides their off-court camaraderie, the couple has recently started to flaunt their relationship on-court too.

For instance, Tsitsipas trained with his girlfriend, Badosa, ahead of his title defense in Mallorca. Earlier this month, the duo also trained together ahead of the 2023 Wimbledon Championships.

Recently, it was revealed that Tsitsipas and Badosa would ply their trade in the mixed doubles category at Wimbledon and lock horns with the American pair of Jessica Pegula and Austin Krajicek in the first round. This collaboration between the couple has got tennis fans talking again, with many of them poking fun at the news.

A fan on Twitter jokingly said that the final should be played between Alex de Minaur/Katie Boulter and Tsitsipas/Badosa, with the losers breaking up their relationship. De Minaur and Boulter have been in a relationship for a while, and they have also entered the mixed doubles draw this year.

"the final should be deminaur/boulter vs tsitsidosa and the losers have to break up."

Another fan said that it was getting "embarrassing" for Tsitsipas and Badosa now.

"I mean... it's getting embarrassing?"

Another fan poked fun at them by saying that they were looking forward to a Netflix episode highlighting their breakup.

"can’t wait for that breakup episode on netflix."

Another fan said that the couple will not succeed in singles so they are trying their luck at mixed doubles.

"I feel like they both know they are going to flop in singles so why not."

Another fan expressed their disgust at the 'cringeness' of the couple.

"Ugh if the ultra cringe all over social media isn’t enough, they’re gonna do it on the court too. Fair play."
