Former world No.2 Badosa confirmed the split from her fella in an Instagram post earlier this month.

But now after rekindling their romance, Tsitsipas has revealed the reason behind their breakup.

Speaking to Greek outlet , he said: "We're together. I will explain why some people make up different stories about us. Not that I care, but I think people shouldn't take it that way.

"Paula didn’t do anything wrong, nor did I do anything wrong. It was hard for us being apart and I was going through some hard times too.

"I would say that I didn't manage it very well either, because I was feeling the pressure of the tour, of my work. It seemed like a mountain to combine these two [personal and professional life] and I made the decision to take a break."

He went on to add: "After two-three weeks I realised that she is a person who has supported me a lot and when she tried to talk to me about meeting I felt how intense the love we have for each other is.

"I realised that this relationship I have with Paula is completely different from any other relationship I have had in the past, I feel that she is my person and we understand each other.

"And that puts more value in everything I do and I want her by my side as often as possible. So yes, we've reconnected and we're in a good moment.”

Badosa, 26, was also asked about their relationship restarting and pleaded with people to give them more privacy going forward, despite Tsitsipas' public explanation.

Speaking in her Roland-Garros press conference, she said: "He [Tsitsipas] already said everything. It's pretty clear that the relationship is working very well now."

Adding: "It's our private life and I think one of the things we didn't like is that it was very public.

"So now we want to keep things a little bit more on our own. I still understand that it's not going to be easy because we are two public people.

"People will ask, but we want to keep it more for ourselves. It's never easy to combine our careers with that [our relationship].

"So let's just try and keep it simple for both of us because I think it helps and it's healthier."

The power couple had been spotted together in Monaco over the last few days, sparking rumours of their relationship being back on.

And fans will be pleased to see that the love birds have confirmed that it's not game, set and match on their time together.

Badosa and Greek ace Tsitsipas, 25, quickly became one of tennis’ most-loved couples after they started dating early last year.

And they've not held back about their relationship in the past with Badosa previously revealing she had a sex dream about her tennis hunk boyfriend.
