Wimbledon wipeout and a breakup: Stefanos Tsitsipas and Paula Badosa part ways

Recent reports indicate that Paula Badosa and Stefanos Tsitsipas have ended their relationship, following days of mounting rumors. The tennis power couple unfollowed each other on Instagram a couple of days ago, and now a Spanish media outlet has confirmed their alleged separation.

Badosa and Tsitsipas had become arguably the most attention-grabbing couple in the tennis world. Badosa, a former world No. 2, and Tsitsipas, a former No. 3, have been prominent figures on court for several years, despite their recent struggles with form.

According to the Spanish magazine Hola.com, the couple reportedly ended their relationship in recent days, shortly after both were eliminated in the first round of Wimbledon. It was recently reported that they had unfollowed each other on social media, in what the outlet described as an amicable split.

Both players haven't been performing well on court lately. Badosa, who had returned to the top 10 a few weeks ago, has again faced injury setbacks, forcing her to retire during her Berlin quarterfinals match. This week, she debuted as the 9th seed at Wimbledon but ultimately fell to local star Katie Boulter.

Things haven't been much better for Tsitsipas, with the Greek failing to advance past the second round of a Grand Slam in his last five appearances. This time, Tsitsipas retired mid-match while trailing against young Frenchman Valentin Royer, down 3-6, 2-6.
