A fan found it hard to accept the update as both of them seemed genuine for each other. Mentioning that they both already started to give hints about this, he wrote, “In one of the recent Kasatkina’s blog Badosa looked pretty happy when Dasha said she won’t ask any questions about Tsitsipas, so I thought something might be up considering how public they were about their romance.”

“Love is dead 💔” a fan wrote, seeming to be shattered after hearing the update of their separation.

“Well, that was quick. Hope Tsitsipas will handle it well,” a fan wrote, saying that the separation came quicker than expected. The way the world saw it, Tsitsipas and Badosa were happily in love.

Another fan, expressing sadness over the fact that they had to end up this quick, wrote, “Nooo, not my 2nd best tennis couple being over.” Which leads one to ask, who might be the first?

Besides Paula Badosa’s words that officially marked an end to her love story, Stefanos Tsitsipas also made a gesture. Soon after the update from Badosa made its way on social media, the ATP star was found missing from the following list, and Badosa reacted by doing the same.

The couple actively shared glimpses of their romantic love life on social media, especially Instagram. Although Badosa still has several posts of them together with other people in the frame on her profile, the fact that they disconnected from each other makes it clear that there’s no going back to the good old days of ‘Tsitsidosa’.
