Tennis power couple call it quits after Wimbledon disaster
It comes just a day after both suffered defeats in the opening round at Wimbledon.
Tsitsipas, 26, began dating Badosa, 27, in May 2023.
They broke up for a matter of weeks last year before reconciling.
But bombshell reports from Spanish magazine Hola say they have now split up again.
Tsitsipas and Badosa have also unfollowed each other on Instagram and posts of them together have been deleted.
It has been claimed: 'They were going through a rough patch professionally, with injuries, and that affected their relationship.
'They're not well, of course. It's normal for any couple that breaks up.
'They had started the year very well and their dream has been shattered.
'They have struggled to make their relationship work. Ghosts from the past have returned, marked by the injuries they have both suffered.
'It's a healthy breakup and there were no third parties or family influences, as is starting to be said.'
Badosa lost to British ace Katie Boutler in a tight three-set encounter on day one of Wimbledon.
As for Tsitsipas, he exited the tournament on day two after pulling out when two sets down to Valentin Royer due to a back injury - not a broken heart.
The Greek ace admitted the fitness issue had made him 'miserable'.
He said: 'It's probably the most difficult situation that I've ever been faced with, because it's an ongoing issue that doesn't seem to be disappearing or fading off as much.
'Myself, as a person, I have a limit at some point, so I'll definitely have to have my final answer on whether I want to do stuff or not in the next couple of months.
'This is going to be hard, but if I see it going in that trajectory, there is no point at competing.
'If I'm not healthy, and I've talked about health so many times, if health is not there, then your whole tennis life becomes miserable.'

Türkiye's Zeynep Sönmez creates history by advancing to Wimbledon third round
Zeynep Sönmez has become the first Turkish player in the professional era to reach the third round of a major tournament after beating China's Wang Xinyu 7-5, 7-5 at Wimbledon. The 88th-ranked Sönmez will play Russian 18th seed Ekaterina Alexandrova in the round of 32. No Turkish woman or man had made the third round of a major since the Open Era began in 1968. One has to go back 75 years to find the last Turkish woman to make it that far, when Bahtiye Musluoğlu reached the third round of the pre-professional French Open in 1950. Çağla Büyükakçay made the second round at three majors between 2016-17. Sönmez said she hoped her win ensured it would not be long before another Turkish player matched her achievement. "My mum and the people in my team told me that there were videos where kids were watching me back at home, in tennis clubs on TV," Sönmez said. "And I hope they get inspired or they feel like, 'Oh, we can do that too'." Sönmez, 23, was supported by a number of Turkish fans in the crowd and took selfies with some of them after the match. "I feel that there are a lot of Turkish people [here] and it makes me very happy," she said. Sönmez has a WTA title under her belt, having won last year's Merida Open. She lost in the first round in her three previous appearances at a major. Sönmez, who enjoyed a career-high ranking of 76 in May, is making her Wimbledon debut. AP/ABC

F1 British Grand Prix: When does the race start and how to follow?
Formula 1 drivers' championship leader Oscar Piastri has said he believes any of the top four teams are in with a chance of victory this weekend. The Australian enters the British Grand Prix — round 12 of 24 in the 2025 season — with a 15-point lead over McLaren teammate Lando Norris. Red Bull's defending champion Max Verstappen is 61 points adrift of Piastri following his retirement from last weekend's race in Austria. Piastri had a race-long battle with Norris in Austria, with the Australian settling for second. Despite McLaren dominating last week, and holding a commanding lead in the constructors' championship, Piastri has predicted that any of the top four teams have a shot at winning this weekend. 'Let's wait and see, I don't think it will just be two McLarens this time," Piastri said. "I think Mercedes will probably be quick, Red Bull honestly, you never really know, but they've been quick here in the past. "Ferrari as well looked to be a little bit stronger in Austria, so let's see. 'It's a track I always enjoy, and I'm expecting it to be a good fight with whoever it is.' Norris's win in Austria was his third grand prix triumph of the season. However, Norris's previous wins in 2025 have been followed by a Piastri triumph at the following grand prix. When quizzed, Piastri said it was nothing more than a coincidence that he had responded to his teammate's success with victory in the following round. 'I just go into every weekend trying to do my best, go in with the best state of mind that I can and I think I'm always learning things about myself, about how I need the car as well, and [I'm] learning lessons all the time," he said. Here is when the Formula 1 British Grand Prix will begin in each of Australia's states and territories. Fox Sports and its streaming platform Kayo will be broadcasting the British Grand Prix. Those watching on Foxtel can watch the race on Fox Sports, channel 506. You can follow all the action with the ABC Sport live blog, from pre-race drama to the post-race synopsis. Silverstone has always been about speed. The circuit in its current form has several fast corners, designed to challenge a driver's willingness to keep their foot on the throttle. The most famous of these is Maggots and Becketts, a pair of corner combinations that stretch from turns 10 to 14. A driver needs to maintain high speed throughout the twisting sequence, or be vulnerable to attacks on the following straight. But perfection is required, otherwise a driver will be taking a trip through the grass (at best) and risks tumbling down the order. Turns 6 and 15, at the end of the DRS zones, provide excellent overtaking opportunities.

'Who's ready?': Aussie tennis star Nick Kyrgios shocks fans by announcing OnlyFans partnership following split from girlfriend
Nick Kyrgios has shocked fans by announcing a new gig with Only Fans TV (OFTV) just months after splitting from his long-term girlfriend. The 30-year-old Aussie tennis player has partnered with streaming platform OnlyFans TV to co-host a new reality series titled Smash City. Joining adult film star Rachel Starr and TV personality Sophie Stonehouse, Kyrgios fronts the four-part show, which pits eight OnlyFans creators against each other in a series of high-stakes pickleball games for a $20,000 prize. "Who's ready to smash?" OFTV captioned the promotional video for the series, which launched on June 13. The former world number 13, who became a part-owner of the Major League Pickleball team Miami Pickleball Club last year, is no stranger to the platform, having signed up to OnlyFans in 2023. "I enjoyed hosting it, and I love competition in general," Kyrgios told Complex in May. "Pickleball for me is very close to tennis, so that instantly caught my interest." As for his own account on the site, the Wimbledon finalist said he values being able to share more of his personal world without venturing into explicit territory. "I think the perception of OnlyFans is slowly changing," he said. "I'm able to share a lot more of my personal life. I always do a lot of tennis content, but there's also things that I do in the gym and in my everyday life. "I'm able to give my fans what they want." The career pivot comes just months after Kyrgios confirmed his split from his girlfriend of four years, influencer Costeen Hatzi, in April. The pair had started dating in 2021 after meeting via Instagram when Hatzi was selling a mirror. Following their breakup, the 25-year-old told the Daily Telegraph on April 8 that "life's been good". "I'm still going on with work and I have a few different brands that I'm working with at the moment," Hatzi said. "I'm grateful to have this life and hopefully keep on going." Around the same time, Kyrgios also announced he would miss Wimbledon for the third consecutive year, due to ongoing injury issues. He hasn't competed at the tournament since losing to Novak Djokovic in the 2022 final. "Just wanted to give everyone a quick update- I've hit a small setback in my recovery and unfortunately won't make it back for grass season this year," he wrote on Instagram in June. "This is just a bump in the road, though, and I'm already working hard to get back stronger than ever." While sidelined from the court, Kyrgios has continued his commentary work, though this year he was snubbed by the BBC for Wimbledon coverage. "It's unfortunate but it's probably their loss more than mine," he told The Guardian on June 21. "When someone's beaten Federer, Nadal, Murray and Djokovic and has incredible insights, it's very strange you wouldn't want that person adding knowledge to tennis fans." Instead, Kyrgios shifted focus to his own YouTube podcast 'Good Trouble with Nick Kyrgios', hosting a live show in London just days before the start of the tournament with Scottish broadcaster Gordon Smart.
