Katie Boulter, the top British player, lost a very close match against Paula Badosa, a former world No 2. Unfortunately, Boulter was knocked out in the first round, along with five other British players. They all lost without winning a single set, which is very embarrassing in tennis. They were all dressed in matching purple Nike outfits, white shoes, and used the same Wilson rackets. Boulter played well and was leading at one point, but Badosa fought back and won the match. Boulter felt disappointed but acknowledged Badosa's skills and determination. Boulter mentioned that she is working hard to improve her game on clay courts and is motivated for the upcoming season. Meanwhile, at the French Open, Stefanos Tsitsipas and Paula Badosa confirmed that they are back together and will compete in mixed doubles. They had taken a break from their relationship due to the pressures of their careers but realized they still cared for each other deeply. They want to keep their relationship more private now. Badosa, who has a strong record on clay courts, is looking forward to the tough competition at Roland Garros. She feels confident and comfortable playing there. She admires Rafael Nadal, who has won the French Open 14 times and believes the tournament should be named after him. Badosa hopes Nadal will continue to play and inspire others with his remarkable career.
