Tennis power couple Stefanos Tsitsipas and Paula Bedosa splits again during Wimbledon
tennis
power couple Stefanos Tsitsipas and Paula Bedosa have separated are intensifying during a disastrous
Wimbledon
campaign for both.
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.

Ageing and vulnerable seven-time champ is loved at last
Novak Djokovic has spent most of his Wimbledons wanting to be loved, sometimes painfully obviously. As his career enters its twilight, his wish is coming to fruition. The Wimbledon crowd's resistance to his charms was partly because his courting of them was too apparent, but mainly because his big rivals, Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal, were so popular, and unlike them, his game was perceived as more efficient than stylish. But longevity coupled with a new vulnerability creates an allure of its own. Now in his 39th year and without a grand slam title since September 2023, the Centre Court crowd have finally taken the Serb to their hearts. That was evident even as he dismantled a Brit, the plucky but outgunned local hope Dan Evans, 6-3 6-2 6-0 in the second round on Thursday. Djokovic never gave Evans a sniff as he delivered a superb all-round performance where he looked as sharp as ever. At the end, there were loud cheers of support, and his post-match interview was greeted with laughter and applause. He said the right things, obviously, praising Evans and complimenting the crowd, but they knew it was genuine when the seven-times champ said, "Wimbledon still stays the most special tournament in my heart and the one that I always dreamed of winning when I was a kid. Any history made here is very special for me." This was his 99th win at Wimbledon. Five more and he will achieve a 25th grand slam, finally eclipsing Margaret Court's tally. That's the target that keeps him looking forward, not back. "I don't pause to reflect," he said. "I don't have time. Being on the highest level on professional tennis requires a lot of dedication. "I don't play as much as I did before, but the weeks I don't play, I play at home with my kids. I don't reflect fully on everything I have been through. "I would like to, but I think that will come when I set the racquet aside and then sip margaritas on the beach with Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal and just reflect on our rivalry and everything." Djokovic now meets compatriot Miomir Kecmanovic, who defeated Jesper de Jong 1-6 6-3 6-2 6-4. Elsewhere, Jan-Lennard Struff completed a surprise four-set comeback victory over Felix Auger-Aliassime to set up a third-round date with defending champion Carlos Alcaraz. Struff, the only German man left in the draw, won 3-6 7-6 (11-9) 6-3 6-4 in a match suspended due to poor light on Wednesday after the second set. Seeds Jakub Mensik (15) and Flavio Cobolli (22) progressed and now meet each other, as did Grigor Dimitrov (19) and, in another match with an overnight delay, Alejandro Davidovich Fokina (26). Spaniard Davidovich Fokina will next meet fifth-seed Taylor Fritz with the winner playing Jordan Thompson in the fourth round should the Aussie come through his third-round tie.

Lily Allen can't remember how many abortions she's had
Lily Allen "can't remember" how many abortions she's had. The 40-year-old singer revealed during a conversation about birth control that she used to get pregnant "all the time". Speaking about contraception on the Miss Me? podcast, Lily shared: "I just remember I have an IUD (contraceptive coil) now. "I think I'm on my third maybe fourth and I just remember before that it was a complete disaster area. Yeah, I'd get pregnant all the time." Allen subsequently discussed her experience of abortions, admitting she can't remember how many she's actually had. Singing to the tune of Frank Sinatra's My Way, she said: "Abortions I've had a few ... but then again ... I can't remember exactly how many." Allen added: "I can't remember. I think maybe like, I want to say four or five." Miquita Oliver, Alen's friend and podcast co-host, then opened up about her own experiences. The 41-year-old TV presenter said: "I've had about five too! Lily, I've never I'm so happy I can say that and you can say it and no one came to shoot us down, no judgement. We've had about the same amount of abortions." Allen revealed that one of her ex-partners actually paid for her to get an abortion and, at the time, she considered it to be a "romantic" gesture. She shared: "I remember once getting pregnant and the man paying for my abortion, and me thinking it was so romantic!" Oliver then said: "I actually think that is romantic!" However, Allen quickly rubbished that suggestion, observing that kids "are a lot more expensive". The LDN hitmaker - who has daughters Ethel, 13, and Marnie, 11, with ex-husband Sam Cooper - said: "No, I don't think it's generous or romantic. Think about that investment, like that's how much is it ... 500 quid ($A1000)? Kids are a lot more expensive." Allen hates that women have to justify their decision to get an abortion. She explained: "I've seen memes going around sometimes, on Instagram from pro-abortion accounts or whatever, whenever this conversation comes up, and suddenly you start seeing people posting things about extraordinary reasons for having an abortion. "Like: 'My aunt had a kid that had this disability,' or whatever, 'If she went full term it was going to kill her, so we have to.' It's like, shut up! "Just: 'I don't want a f****** baby right now.' Literally: 'Don't want a baby' is enough reason." Lily Allen "can't remember" how many abortions she's had.

Ageing and vulnerable seven-time champ is loved at last
Novak Djokovic has spent most of his Wimbledons wanting to be loved, sometimes painfully obviously. As his career enters its twilight, his wish is coming to fruition. The Wimbledon crowd's resistance to his charms was partly because his courting of them was too apparent, but mainly because his big rivals, Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal, were so popular, and unlike them, his game was perceived as more efficient than stylish. But longevity coupled with a new vulnerability creates an allure of its own. Now in his 39th year and without a grand slam title since September 2023, the Centre Court crowd have finally taken the Serb to their hearts. That was evident even as he dismantled a Brit, the plucky but outgunned local hope Dan Evans, 6-3 6-2 6-0 in the second round on Thursday. Djokovic never gave Evans a sniff as he delivered a superb all-round performance where he looked as sharp as ever. At the end, there were loud cheers of support, and his post-match interview was greeted with laughter and applause. He said the right things, obviously, praising Evans and complimenting the crowd, but they knew it was genuine when the seven-times champ said, "Wimbledon still stays the most special tournament in my heart and the one that I always dreamed of winning when I was a kid. Any history made here is very special for me." This was his 99th win at Wimbledon. Five more and he will achieve a 25th grand slam, finally eclipsing Margaret Court's tally. That's the target that keeps him looking forward, not back. "I don't pause to reflect," he said. "I don't have time. Being on the highest level on professional tennis requires a lot of dedication. "I don't play as much as I did before, but the weeks I don't play, I play at home with my kids. I don't reflect fully on everything I have been through. "I would like to, but I think that will come when I set the racquet aside and then sip margaritas on the beach with Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal and just reflect on our rivalry and everything." Djokovic now meets compatriot Miomir Kecmanovic, who defeated Jesper de Jong 1-6 6-3 6-2 6-4. Elsewhere, Jan-Lennard Struff completed a surprise four-set comeback victory over Felix Auger-Aliassime to set up a third-round date with defending champion Carlos Alcaraz. Struff, the only German man left in the draw, won 3-6 7-6 (11-9) 6-3 6-4 in a match suspended due to poor light on Wednesday after the second set. Seeds Jakub Mensik (15) and Flavio Cobolli (22) progressed and now meet each other, as did Grigor Dimitrov (19) and, in another match with an overnight delay, Alejandro Davidovich Fokina (26). Spaniard Davidovich Fokina will next meet fifth-seed Taylor Fritz with the winner playing Jordan Thompson in the fourth round should the Aussie come through his third-round tie.
