In the realm of sports' beloved power couple, Paula Badosa and Stefanos Tsitsipas, concerns arose among fans when their highly-followed @Tsitsidosa Instagram account suddenly went dark. This puzzling turn of events happened shortly after striking artistic representations of the duo emerged, thanks to photographer Radka Leitmeritz.
While Badosa made her return to Instagram the following day, Tsitsipas was conspicuously absent from her posts. Instead, Badosa was seen enjoying a girl's dinner in Dubai with her tennis "soulmate," Aryna Sabalenka. However, an anonymous bouquet of roses hinted that all was still harmonious in the Tsitsidosa universe.
The suspense surrounding a potential account hack was dispelled when Badosa reposted an image on her own Instagram story. This image featured her and Tsitsipas in Dubai, with the iconic Burj Khalifa in the background.
Rather than signaling an abrupt end, the unexplained disappearance of their Instagram grid, which had amassed nearly 100,000 followers, adds another intriguing chapter to one of the most captivating online love stories in the world of sports.
It all started innocently enough, with a Spotify soft launch and paparazzi photos of Badosa watching Tsitsipas at Roland Garros. From there, their story unfolded, with Badosa and Tsitsipas openly discussing their relationship on Instagram and in the press, particularly during Wimbledon earlier this year.
"I never dream about tennis players, but I dreamt about him that night, that we were both winning the Australian Open," Badosa revealed, delivering a quote that garnered attention: "Then it was like we were having a very romantic moment, but I'm not going to explain. I'm just going to leave it there."
And so, the Tsitsidosa dream persists, a tale that fans undoubtedly hope will never end.
