Tennis power couple Stefanos Tsitsipas and Paula Badosa have sparked speculation of a split after the pair unfollowed each other on social media.
Tsitsipas and Badosa are known as one of tennis most high profile couples, after they first went public about their relationship back in 2023.
The relationship, known as 'Tsitsidosa', is high-profile and followed by a number of fans, with the duo winning hearts for their love for each other as well as their performances in tennis.
In May last year, they announced that they had 'amicably' parted ways after just under a year together, but it took them less than three weeks to get things back on track and rekindle the romance.
Tsitsipas and Badosa both crashed out of Wimbledon on the opening day of the Championships.
Women's ninth seed Badosa was beaten in three sets by Britain's Katie Boulter in a major upset, while men's 24th seed Tsitsipas retired injured while trailing by two sets to Valentin Royer.

Badosa and Tsitsipas have now sparked suggestions of a split with fans highlighting how the pair no longer follow each other on social media.
The couple have also removed shared content featuring each other from their respective Instagram profiles.
Only a week ago, Tsitsipas had shared a video of the couple taking on a food challenge, where they choose between dishes from their respective homelands Greece and Spain. The video has now been removed from his profile.
Neither Tsitsipas nor Badosa has addressed the speculation publicly, with the couple's relationship having appeared to have been strong recently.
The power couple were last month confirmed to have entered the US Open's revamped mixed doubles event, with Tsitsipas talking up their partnership on court as well as off it.
'I believe it’s honestly one of the best feelings to be sharing the court with Paula,' Tsitsipas said.
'I’ve had a few instances where we played some mixed doubles and it worked out pretty well. We were able to enjoy the company of one another on the tennis court and make something great out of it.'
As recently as April, Tsitsipas and Badosa had discussed if they planned on getting married in Greece if they decided to tie the knot.

'We're still trying to figure it out,' Tsitsipas said.
'We're competing, like Spain, Greece, Spain, Greece. But Greece has my heart,' Badosa replied.
Tsitsipas had cut a disconsolate figure after his first round exit at Wimbledon on Monday, with the Greek star receiving treatment on his back before eventually retiring after losing the second set of his first round match.
The 26-year-old has admitted he could retire in the near future if he cannot overcome his long-term back issue, adding he would have his 'final answer' in the coming months.
'I'm battling many wars these days. It's really painful to see myself in a situation like this,' Tsitsipas said.
'I feel like I'm left without answers. I don't know. I've tried everything. I've done an incredible job with my fitness.
'I've done an incredible job with my physiotherapy, so I've maximized on everything that I possibly can do.
The couple, known as 'Tsitsidosa', had split last May but rekindled their romance weeks later
Neither Tsitsipas nor Badosa has commented publicly on speculation of a split
'Right now, I'm just absolutely left with no answers.
'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.
'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.
'Tennis is a rotational sport, and if you can't rotate, then there's no reason playing it.'
