Tennis power couple Stefanos Tsitsipas and Paula Bedosa splits again during Wimbledon
The pair, who started dating just over two years ago, have unfollowed each other on social media and have erased all traces of their relationship from Instagram.
Badosa and Tsitsipas have a combined 3.2 million Instagram followers between them, and are regular posters on the platform, including several photos of each other over the past two years.
But a quick scroll on each of their accounts now shows no sign of one another.
It comes as both tennis stars failed to reach the second round at the All England Club.
Former world No.3 Tsitsipas retired hurt against Valentin Royer after succumbing to a persistent back injury.
The 24th-seeded Greek called for a medical timeout in the second set and had treatment in an attempt to push on, but eventually pulled the pin when trailing 6-3, 6-2.
No.9 seed Badosa, meantime, ran into a white-hot Katie Boulter, who beat the Spaniard 6-2, 3-6, 6-4 on Centre Court for one of the biggest wins of her career.
Tsitsipas and Badosa's relationship has had a rocky history, including a well documented reconciliation in May 2024 after a break earlier that month.
At that point, it appeared the pair had put their differences behind them.
'We are together,' Tsitsipas said at the time.
'Some people have made up stories about us, but Paula didn't do anything wrong and neither did I.
'It had been difficult for us to be apart and I have been through some very difficult times.'
The duo, which were dubbed 'Tsitsidosa' during their time together, are yet to make public comment on the situation, but it's understood they have split amicably.

Aussie No.1s sidestep seeds carnage with Wimbledon wins
Alex de Minaur and Daria Kasatkina, Australia's biggest Wimbledon hopes, have been left relieved to avoid joining the legion of seeds who've already been scattered at this shock-laden Wimbledon as they battled into the third round. In perfect sunny conditions on Thursday (Friday AEST), de Minaur brushed off a woeful first set against French qualifier Arthur Cazaux before regrouping and eventually showing some signs of his best in a 4-6 6-2 6-4 6-0 victory. Then after his fellow Sydneysider Aleksandar Vukic had been crushed by the full power of world No.1 Jannik Sinner, the other national No.1 Kasatkina came through her second-round arm wrestle with old Romanian rival Irina-Camelia Begu 6-2 4-6 6-1. So there'll be at least three Australians in the last 32, with injury-hampered Jordan Thompson having heroically made it into the third round on Wednesday - and Rinky Hijikata almost but not quite out of it on the brink of defeat to Ben Shelton when his match was controversially suspended because of the dying light. The encouraging news for world No.11 de Minaur is he'll next be facing Denmark's August Holmgren, a qualifier ranked 181 places below him who knocked out Czech 21st seed Tomas Machac and may feel drained after the second longest match of the championships lasting four hours 38 minutes. Fifteen of the 32 men's seeds had already fallen in the first two rounds, and 15 of the women's - and there was momentary concern both de Minaur and Kasatkina, the newest recruit for Australian tennis, might join them. "It just shows you, this sport, it's not easy out there. Anything can happen on any given day," sighed de Minaur. And though his victory, featuring 31 unforced errors, suggested plenty of work to be done still, he was grateful to have avoided the same second-round calamity of the French Open when beaten by Alexander Bublik. De Minaur had never been knocked out of a grand slam by anyone as lowly ranked as No.115 Cazaux, but alarm bells rang once the fluid server from Montpellier took advantage of de Minaur's absent-minded start on a packed No.2 Court. But urged on at courtside by his Davis Cup captain Lleyton Hewitt, de Minaur stirred, nearly doubled his first-serve percentage of 33 per cent to 63 per cent and swept to level the set scores. Cazaux's spirit was broken after de Minaur's late break in the second, and 'Demon' felt freed to play his best tennis of the tournament so far, feeding the dispirited Frenchman a 41-minute 'bagel' set. His next opponent Holmgren will have to recover from a marathon in which he finally kayoed Machac 7-6 (7-5) 6-8 (8-10) 6-7 (5-7) 7-5 7-6 (7-5). Kasatkina, the 16th seed, has beaten 34-year-old Begu more times than she's defeated any other player, so it looked a perfect draw as she swept through the first set, only for the veteran to uncork some laser shotmaking in the second. But, though occasionally venting her frustration to her courtside team about an uneven performance, Kasatkina recovered her poise, earned an early break in the decider and then reeled off the final four games to book a much more challenging third-round encounter with 18th seed Liudmila Samsonova, who's already knocked out star teenage Australian Maya Joint. "I prefer this fire and getting this anger than when I don't feel the energy at all. So sometimes I was screaming to the box and stuff, but that's important, it gives you energy," Kasatkina said. Sydneysider Vukic gave Carlos Alcaraz a few worries last year on No.1 Court but his latest big-match date on Centre proved a bloodless affair as he was taken apart by Sinner 6-1 6-1 6-3 in an hour and 40 minutes, with his most notable resistance emerging at the death when he saved five match points. "I feel like I'm in a boxing ring and just have to go back out there," sighed the "pummelled" Vukic. In near-darkness at 9.30pm, there was still general amazement when the chair umpire told Shelton he was suspending the No.2 Court contest against Hijikata just as the dominant American 10th seed was leading 6-2 7-5 5-4 and about to step out to serve for the match. Shelton was outraged, understandably complaining, while Hijikata, equally understandably, zoomed off court before minds could be changed. The match will be resumed on Friday. Earlier, Australia's Olympic men's doubles champions, 15th seeds John Peers and Matt Ebden, bowed out in the opening round, losing 6-3 6-4 to Czech pair Petr Nouza and Patrik Rikl.

Hollywood stars Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom confirm split after months of speculation
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have confirmed their split. The pair had been battling split rumours for months, as the pop singer took her Lifetimes Tour around the globe, including a recent sold-out leg in Australia. 'Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting,' representatives told US Weekly magazine on Friday. 'They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is — and always will be — raising their daughter with love, stability and mutual respect.' The separation is believed to have begun at the start of the year. The pair recently marked 10 years of being a couple after getting engaged in 2019. They share daughter, Daisy, four, who they welcomed in August 2020. Bloom also has a son, Flynn, 14, with Australian supermodel Miranda Kerr. Perry was seen tearing-up on stage at her Adelaide show, with speculation rife it had to do with her relationship with Bloom. 'Thank you for always being there for me, Australia,' Perry said at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre. She then made a heart with her hands, before adding: 'It means the world.' Perry will next take the stage in Denver on July 10. Meanwhile, Bloom was last spotted in Venice attending the lavish wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez, where he was seen chatting to Kim Kardashian. During the trip, Bloom shared a cryptic Instagram post about 'moving forward', which many thought was a reference to his relationship with Perry.

Tennis star rages as match stopped one game away from victory
The American was one game away from victory when officials made the call Two-time grand slam semifinalist Ben Shelton has been left fuming after his second-round match at Wimbledon was suspended because of fading light with him a game away from beating Aussie Rinky Hijikata. The 10th-seeded Shelton was about to serve for the match while leading 6-2, 7-5, 5-4 when action was halted at No. 2 Court, which does not have a roof or artificial lights. WATCH THE VIDEO ABOVE: Ben Shelton fumes as Wimbledon match suspended. Shelton, a 22-year-old American, had just held three match points in the previous game, up 5-3 and love-40 as Hijikata served. But the 87th-ranked Australian grabbed the next five points in a row to extend the contest. Play was then stopped at 9:30pm local time, which sent Shelton and the crowd into a spin. Ben Shelton was left fuming when his match was suspended. Credit: Getty The decision was made 90 minutes before the controversial curfew, but officials made the call based on poor light. Shelton could be seen pointing and yelling at the chair umpire and the tournament official, while the crowd watched on in disbelief. 'He's not happy,' Robbie Koenig said in commentary. While Shelton argued the point, Hijikata quickly left the court after miraculously extending the match. 'You've got to applaud the grit and determination and attitude of Hijikata. He faced three match points then reeled off five points in a row. He lives to fight another day,' commentator Ryan Harrison said. They will resume on Friday. Hijikata has never been beyond the second round at Wimbledon Shelton reached the fourth round at the All England Club a year ago and reached the semifinals at the 2023 US Open and the 2025 Australian Open. - With AP
