David Beckham welcomed tennis players Stefanos Tsitsipas and Paula Badosa to the Inter Miami training facility on Tuesday. The two athletes had the chance to meet with several Inter Miami players including Jordi Alba, Noah Allen, Sergio Busquets, Drake Callender, Leonardo Campana, Benjamin Cremaschi, and Julian Gressel.
Images from their recent visit capture Badosa being presented with a personalized Inter Miami football jersey, while Tsitsipas proudly shows off a Lionel Messi kit alongside club owner Beckham. The tennis stars engaged in friendly handshakes and autograph exchanges with their soccer counterparts before Tsitsipas impressed everyone by showcasing his keep-up skills with Campana. Following their participation in the Miami Open, where Badosa suffered a defeat to Aryna Sabalenka in the round of 64, the pair are making the most of their time in Florida.
Stefanos Tsitsipas and Paula Badosa made a trip to the Inter Miami training facility this past Tuesday.
David Beckham extended a warm welcome to the tennis players following their impressive performances at the Miami Open.
Tsitsipas and Badosa had a chance to meet Inter Miami players Jordi Alba, Sergio Busquets, and Noah Allen. However, Tsitsipas and his partner Thanasi Kokkinakis were defeated in the round of 16 in doubles by Joe Salisbury and Rajeev Ram. Additionally, Tsitsipas suffered a loss to Canadian Denis Shapovalov in singles competition during the round of 64. Inter Miami experienced mixed results on their recent road trip, with a 3-1 victory over DC United followed by a 4-0 loss to the New York Red Bulls. Lionel Messi has been sidelined for the past three MLS games and a total of five games due to a hamstring injury.
There is no set date for when he will be back, so the Herons will have the advantage of playing the next three games at home. First up is New York City FC on Saturday, followed by Monterrey in the CONCACAF Champions Cup on April 3, and then the Colorado Rapids on the sixth. Inter Miami is currently in second place in the Eastern Conference with ten points and a record of 3 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses. They are just one point behind the first-placed FC Cincinnati.
