They were then seen walking away, again holding hands as they enjoyed the sun.

Badosa wrote upon the break-up: ‘After careful consideration and many cherished moments together, Stefanos and I have decided to amicably part ways.

‘We have shared a journey filled with love and learning, and it is as friends with immense mutual respect that we now choose to move forward on our own paths.’

‘As we transition into this new chapter of our lives, we continue to wish each other nothing but the best in all our endeavors.

‘We kindly ask for privacy during this time, and we thank you for your understanding and respect. ‘

She also refused to rule out a potential reconciliation, saying: ‘We have a great relationship and I wish him the best. He is a great man. I know he thinks the same. Nothing bad happened in the end. That’s life. I know we will still see each other on the circuit and you never know what will happen in the future.’

She had also compared the split to another tennis star, adding at the Italian Open via AS: ‘Emotionally, it hasn’t been easy these last few days , but I’m a strong person, so I’m trying to deal with everything the best I can.

‘I’m very proud of myself and how I’m doing. This reminds me a lot of the story of Maria [Sharapova] and Grigor [Dimitrov], where you meet the right person but maybe at the wrong time. It’s a bit like that.

‘When we were great, the relationship was great. Other times we have our own careers, our own things, and sometimes it is better to separate.’

They are both due to compete in the French Open at Roland Garros, with the tournament starting later this month

Badosa had also refused to rule out a potential reconsilation down the line, saying: ‘I know we will still see each other on the circuit and you never know what will happen in the future’

Prior to the announcement that they would be parting ways, their joint Instagram account had been removed – yet pictures of the pair remained on their individual social media acocunts. The couple have fevently supported eachother online through their activities both on and off the court.

Badosa, who was born in New York City but represents Spain, has been ranked as high as No 2 in the world but struggled with injuries of late.

Tsitsipas, meanwhile, was once the world No 3 – twice a runner-up at major tournaments. On both occasions, he lost in the final to 23-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic.

Both players are expected to compete in the French Open at Roland Garros later this month.
