PAULA BADOSA has declared herself “sexy and single” after splitting with fellow tennis star Stefano Tsitsipas.
Badosa, 28, made headlines for her high-profile relationship with Greek player Tsitsipas, 27, after the pair started dating in May 2023.
The duo were labelled as the power couple of tennis and dubbed “Tsitsidosa” after being pictured looking smitten together across the years.
But they reportedly went their separate ways just after Wimbledon this summer, which saw both players suffer first-round defeats.
In a hint that the relationship ended acrimoniously, the pair unfollowed each other and deleted a number of photos of them together.
Badosa has now confirmed the split after celebrating her 28th birthday with one banner that read “sexy and single” and another that said “28 and still a 10”.

She shared a photodump showing her enjoying a trip to Dubai with friends, while wearing a party hat with her face on it.
Badosa also posted a stunning bikini photo as she enjoyed a cocktail by the beach.
Her post began with a picture of her posing in front of a birthday cake with the message: “Older, wiser and hotter than ever.”
She captioned the post: “Chapter 28, here we go! Heart full… Thank you to the ones who made it so special. Love you.”
Badosa has 1.3million followers on Instagram and often thrills fans with bikini pictures and other glamorous photos showing her luxurious lifestyle away from tennis.
But last week she hinted at her mental struggles after battling a back injury that ended her season in September.
She wrote in a lengthy message on Instagram: “Sometimes life shakes us so hard that we think we won’t be able to get up.
“We go through moments when the soul breaks in silence, where doubts weigh more than hope, and where the inner noise lets nothing be heard.
“But it’s right there, in that void, where something sacred begins: the reunion with oneself,’ Badosa wrote.
“Healing isn’t forgetting or pretending it didn’t hurt. Healing is looking at yourself with compassion, recognizing your wounds and understanding that everything you experienced was a necessary part of the journey.
“It is discovering that peace is not in what you have, or in who accompanies you, but in the simple fact of being able to breathe calmly with yourself.”
