Could wedding bells be in the near future for another of tennis` prominent couples?
While they haven`t yet followed in the footsteps of recently married couples like Madison Keys and Bjorn Fratangelo, or engaged pairs such as Katie Boulter and Alex de Minaur, Paula Badosa and Stefanos Tsitsipas were playful when asked about their relationship`s future on the red carpet of the Laureus World Sports Awards on Monday.
Arriving in matching white outfits by Pedro del Hierro – which they both joked was `a Greek color` – the couple admitted their coordinated look wouldn`t be unsuitable for a significant future event.
`Perhaps it`s a sign,` Badosa commented on their attire, while Tsitsipas added that they have indeed considered picturesque locations for a potential `Greek wedding`.
However, they haven`t made a final decision yet.
`We`re still trying to figure it out,` Tsitsipas stated.
`We`re debating, like Spain, Greece, Spain, Greece. But Greece holds a special place in my heart,` Badosa responded.
Badosa and Tsitsipas weren`t the only prominent tennis figures at the event, which took place in Madrid just before the start of the combined ATP Masters 1000 and WTA 1000 Mutua Madrid Open.
Carlos Alcaraz was nominated for World Sportsman of the Year, an award presented by Novak Djokovic, while Rafael Nadal received the Laureus Sporting Icon Award. Other tennis attendees included Belinda Bencic, Caroline Garcia, Laureus ambassador Garbiñe Muguruza, and Donna Vekic.
The presence of numerous sports stars, including Simone Biles, Rebeca Andrade, and Lindsey Vonn, left Tsitsipas feeling starstruck.
`This is somewhat new for us, as Paula and I haven`t attended a gala like this before,` Tsitsipas commented. `Her dress and my outfit… they create a remarkable transformation. Tonight feels like being in a Hollywood movie.`
