However, being in a relationship often results in individuals taking out their stresses on each other, and that's exactly what Badosa appeared to do comically, as Tsitsipas encouraged her to calm down.<br /><br />A furious Badosa returned to her cooldown area having lost a fifth consecutive game against Kostyuk and gesturing in the direction of her boyfriend and coaching staff hit her racquet and demonstrated how the strong wing was causing her problems.<br /><br />An encouraging Tsitsipas responded by making hand gestures telling his partner to calm down which only appeared to annoy Badosa further as she issued a quirky response.<br /><br />The women's world No.12 star produced a myriad of eye-catching facial expressions during the exchange and ended by gesturing her racquet in the direction of Tsitsipas telling him to come and have a go instead.<br /><br />The crowd and television commentators laughed at the couple's public display of encouragement being met by a rebuttal and a much calmer post-match Badosa later praised her partner's support. <br /><br />'Tsitsipas was in the crowd. At 0-5 down you asked if he wanted to come on court & play…' said the post-match interviewer. <br /><br />Badosa replied: 'I was saying that to my coach honestly, he [Tsitsipas] was very supportive giving me amazing tips, going for it being aggressive.<br /><br />'He was supporting me at every point and I think he was more nervous than me. I appreciate his support here,' added Badosa.<br /><br />Badosa is now waiting to discover who her fourth-round opponent will be and is expected to be boosted by her partner who crashed out of the competition in the first round.<br /><br />Their relationship, known as 'Tsitsidosa', is high-profile and followed by several fans, with the duo winning hearts for their love for each other as well as their performances in tennis.<br /><br />Stefanos is currently ranked 11 in the world, Badosa 12th - they both admit that tennis 'comes first' ahead of their relationship, but finding time for each other off the court is important too.<br /><br />They first met in 2020 but it took a few years for them to finally get together. Paula has revealed that Stefanos made the first move in May last year, with the duo going public in June.<br /><br />And Stefanos has detailed his feelings of when he first saw his now-partner, explaining how he knew from the start that it was love.<br /><br />'The first time I noticed Paula was when I saw her at the 2020 Australian Open, playing on Centre Court,' he said. 'It was love at first sight and I was completely mesmerized.'
