Stefanos Tsitsipas recently drew flak from tennis fans after stating that his girlfriend Paula Badosa dreamt of the pair winning the Australian Open together.

The lovebirds confirmed their relationship in June when the Greek called themselves 'soulmates' during an interview. Since then, the couple have opened a joint Instagram account, posted a few TikTok videos, and trained together ahead of Wimbledon, among other things.

In a recent interview with SDNA, Tsitsipas said that his Spanish girlfriend had a dream of winning the Australian Open with him.

"Paula had a dream before we met & I leave it to her to explain. That's why I say there are so many signs. She saw us both win Australian Open, but I’d like Paula to tell you the story," Tsitsipas said.

Tennis fans reacted swiftly to Tsitsipas' comments and poked fun at the couple. One of them expressed their distrust of the two by saying that they wouldn't be surprised if the couple met in a psych ward.

"If someone told me these two met on a psych ward I’d believe it," the fan tweeted.

Another fan commented that they wanted to 'vomit' when thinking about Badosa's past relationship with actor and model Juan Betancourt.

"I want to vomit lmao she was engaged a month ago," the fan wrote.

Fans continued to tease the couple by saying that the 'dream' will always be a dream.

"Def a dream bc neither are doing that in real life," another user tweeted.

Some fans on Twitter also urged them to keep their personal lives to themselves instead of making it public.

"Why can't they just keep their private lives private," the fan commented.

Paula Badosa will kick off her 2023 Wimbledon campaign by taking on American Alison Riske-Amritraj in the first round. Badosa will be making her return to the tour since her quarterfinal exit at the Italian Open.

The Spaniard won the last meeting between the two in 2019, when she rallied from a set down to beat Riske-Amritraj 6-7(2), 7-5, 7-5 at the Mallorca Championships.

On the other hand, Stefanos Tsitsipas will resume his first-round match with Dominic Thiem after their match was postponed on Tuesday due to rain.

At the time of rain interrupting the play, Thiem had won the first set with Tsitsipas leading in the second (on serve). The winner of this clash will lock horns with two-time Wimbledon winner Andy Murray in the second round.
