Paula Badosa has officially confirmed her break-up with Greek tennis star Stefanos Tsitsipas, declaring herself “sexy and single” as she celebrated her 28th birthday. The pair, who began dating in May 2023, were quickly dubbed “Tsitsidosa” and became known as tennis’ biggest power couple. Their relationship was highly publicized, with frequent appearances together at tournaments and on social media.
Break-up after Wimbledon
Reports suggest the couple parted ways shortly after Wimbledon this summer, where both players suffered first-round exits. In the weeks that followed, fans noticed that Badosa and Tsitsipas unfollowed each other on social media and deleted several photos together, hinting at an acrimonious end to their relationship.
Birthday celebration in Dubai
Badosa marked her 28th birthday with friends in Dubai, sharing a series of photos on Instagram. Among them was a banner reading “sexy and single” and another declaring “28 and still a 10.” She also posted a bikini photo while enjoying a cocktail by the beach and posed with a birthday cake that read: “Older, wiser and hotter than ever.”
Her caption reflected optimism for the future: “Chapter 28, here we go! Heart full… Thank you to the ones who made it so special. Love you.”
Social media presence
With 1.3 million Instagram followers, Badosa continues to captivate fans with glamorous posts, often showcasing her lifestyle away from the court. Her recent updates highlight both her confidence and her playful personality, reinforcing her popularity beyond tennis.
Injury struggles
Despite her upbeat posts, Badosa recently hinted at mental challenges following a back injury that forced her to end her season in September. The setback has been difficult, but her latest messages suggest she is determined to move forward both personally and professionally.
As she enters a new chapter, Badosa’s declaration of being “sexy and single” signals a fresh start. While her relationship with Tsitsipas may have ended, her focus now appears to be on recovery, self-growth, and returning stronger to the tennis circuit in 2026.
