Tennis power couple ‘split up’
Tennis power couple Stefanos Tsitsipas and Paula Badosa have broken up, according to reports.
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.
Sierra has to move house
Solana Sierra revealed after her victory over Katie Boulter that she has had to move the house in which she is staying during the championships several times already because she did not expect to be here this long.
And now she and her mother, who is staying with her, will have to switch residences again given she is into round three.
The Argentine explained: “I lost in the third round of qualies so we already changed three times the apartment and now we are going to change again!
“But we said it’s a good problem.
“It feels amazing. I knew it was a really tough match, Katie is an amazing player, so I just tried to focus on myself and enjoy this moment. It’s a dream to play here.”
Boulter stunned
Katie Boulter crashed out to lucky loser Solana Sierra – and could not even blame misfortune on it.
The British No2 had a shocker for the majority of her 1hr 53mins out on a half-empty Court No1, save for an impressive first-set fightback.
That revival had seen Boulter go from 5-2 down to win 7-6, thanks to a tie-break.
And from then the supporters who had turned up were half-expecting a comfortable victory for the Leicester-born London resident.
But it did not turn out that way as an inspired Sierra capitalised on Boulter’s catalogue of errors to come through 6-7 6-2 6-1.
The Argentine, 21, had lost in qualifying and was only in the SW19 main draw after being selected to replace an injured player.
Tarvet impresses
Britain’s world No733 Ollie Tarvet certainly made a name for himself with a performance against reigning champion Carlos Alcaraz that was even better than the 6-1 6-4 6-4 scoreline suggested.
Even the first set was much closer than it might seem, as the San Diego-based student showed again how much he had learned on the college circuit in the USA.
Alcaraz was not at his best, just as in his first-round victory against Fabio Fognini.
And qualifier Tarvet, 21, made life so difficult for the Spaniard right for so long, with his combination of speed, athleticism, skill and sheer guts.
Tough for Gauff
Coco Gauff was left emotional after an early Wimbledon exit on Tuesday.
Gauff entered Wimbledon coming off a Grand Slam win at Roland Garros, but ended up losing in the first round.
The 21-year-old was the No. 2 seed at Wimbledon, but was taken out in a stunning defeat to unranked Ukrainian Dayana Yastremska.
In her presser after the match, Gauff shared that she was feeling mentally “overwhelmed” while wiping away tears.
“I feel like mentally I was little bit overwhelmed with everything that came afterwards, so I didn’t feel like I had enough time to do, I guess celebrate and then also get back into it,” she said.
“But it’s the first time, in this experience, like coming off a win and having to play at Wimbledon, and I definitely learned about what I would and would not do again.”
John Cena at Wimbledon
John Cena and wife Shay Shariatzadeh turned heads as they stole the show in London.
The WWE icon was seen at Wimbledon today with his Shay to take in some of the world’s best tennis.
But the day before, the couple were seen in London enjoying a special UK screening in Southbank for “Heads of State”, a new film Cena is starring in.
