Paula Badosa is getting back into the swing of things hitting with boyfriend Stefanos Tsitsipas in Mallorca.
Badosa, who withdrew from Roland Garros due to a spinal stress fracture she suffered en route to the Rome quarterfinals, wore a back brace as she first hit with Apostolos Tsitsipas, Stefano’s dad and coach, before going toe-to-toe with the Australian Open finalist.
