Tennis power couple Stefanos Tsitsipas and Paula Badosa have sparked fresh speculation of a split following their first-round exits at Wimbledon 2025 on June 30, compounded by Tsitsipas’s emotional post-match confession and social media activity. The duo, known as “Tsitsidosa,” saw their relationship scrutinized after Tsitsipas unfollowed Badosa on Instagram and removed most photos featuring her, while Badosa retained only a few posts with him, per *Daily Mail* and *Express.co.uk*. This comes after a brief breakup in May 2024, followed by a reconciliation three weeks later, per *Tennis.com*.[]
Tsitsipas, ranked No. 26, retired injured trailing 3-6, 2-6 against qualifier Valentin Royer (No. 113) due to a chronic lower back issue, later sharing a heartbreaking confession: “I’m battling many wars… I’m left without answers. I’ve tried everything,” he told *Tennis365*, describing it as “the most difficult situation” of his career. Badosa, the No. 9 seed, fell 6-2, 3-6, 6-4 to Britain’s Katie Boulter on Centre Court, marking a major upset, per *Daily Mail*. The timing of their losses and Instagram changes fueled breakup rumors, with @DExpress_Sport noting, “Tsitsipas and Badosa no longer follow each other,” amplifying fan speculation.[](https://www.tennis365.com/tennis-news/stefanos-tsitsipas-paula-badosa-breakup-rumours-wimbledon-2025)[](https://greekcitytimes.com/2025/07/02/tsitsipas-badosa-breakup-rumors-wimbledon/)[](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/tennis/article-14864281/Tennis-couple-Stefanos-Tsitsipas-Paula-Badosa-spark-split-rumours-Wimbledon.html)
Their relationship, public since May 2023 after Tsitsipas messaged Badosa post her Italian Open win, has been a rollercoaster, per *People*. A previous split in May 2024, attributed to career pressures and Badosa’s back injuries, was likened by Badosa to Maria Sharapova and Grigor Dimitrov’s “right person, wrong time” breakup, per *Tennis.com*. Despite reuniting and planning to play mixed doubles at the 2025 US Open, recent events suggest strain, with Tsitsipas’s mother, Julia Apostoli, previously hinting at supporting their reconciliation, per *Daily Mail*. Neither has publicly addressed the latest rumors, but their emotional and professional struggles at Wimbledon signal challenges ahead.
