Paula Badosa and Stefanos Tsitsipas were captured in Dubai just days after deleting all the posts on their joint social media handle.

Badosa and Tsitsipas have been in a relationship since May this year. The couple has shared several highlights of their personal and professional lives with fans the last few months.

Badosa, who is currently on an injury break, has also accompanied the Greek to his tournaments. They were recently spotted in Greece, where the Spaniard cheered Tsitsipas on from the sidelines during his Davis Cup tie against Slovakia.

Following their trip to Greece, the pair traveled to Dubai, where Paula Badosa resides.

Soon after that, the former World No. 2 was embroiled in a row with a Spanish journalist over the misinterpretation of Stefanos Tsitsipas’ recent comments about her. In the days that followed, the couple caused a stir on the internet by deleting all the pictures from their joint Instagram account ‘tsitsidosa.’

The tennis players have now put their fans at ease by posting a picture together, where they can be seen posing in front of Dubai’s Burj Khalifa.

Stefanos Tsitsipas was last seen in action at the Davis Cup. He eked out one win against Lukas Klein, who posed a serious threat. The Greek prevailed after the World No. 151 withdrew from the match just two games shy of losing [6-7 (3), 7-6 (5), 4-0].

Tsitsipas, however, lost his other two encounters - a doubles match against Lukas Klein and Igor Zelenay, partnering with brother Petros, and a singles fixture against Alex Molcan.

Tsitsipas, who has been in a slump of late, mainly due to injuries, revealed that he is now approaching his career with a fresh perspective. The former World No. 3 said that he is aiming to establish a better work-life balance.

“The key is finding a balance between your private life, building something with someone, and moving ahead in your career with that person’s help," he said during his Davis Cup tie as per Greek publication Kathimerini.

The two-time Grand Slam finalist also acknowledged Paula Badosa’s presence in his life.

"Having (Paula Badosa) in my life helps me a lot," he said. "It has changed my approach to the sport in a way I never would have expected."

Badosa later talked about how Tsitsipas' comments were interpreted by the media.

“Tsitsipas reveals that Badosa has made him change the perspective of his career and his ambitions as a tennis player,” Spanish journalist Jose Moron said on X.

The 2021 Indian Wells champion, who been targeted to unwarranted scrutiny ever since she made her relationship with Tsitsipas public, slammed the journalist for taking the words out of context.

“Always misinterpreting words. It makes me a little tired that you always have to judge and find blame. He doesn't refer to that, and it seems incredible that he has to go out and explain himself,” she wrote on X.
