While many players spend their off-season on a beach in the Maldives, Stefanos Tsitsipas and Paula Badosa always match to the beat of their own drum.

Tennis’s favorite couple has been posting up a storm on social media as they enjoy snowy scenes from Iceland, the Nordic nation famous for its striking landscapes of glaciers, geysers, hot springs and volcanoes.

“Lost in the endless white,” Badosa wrote on Instagram, along with some photos taken by boyfriend Tsitsipas. “My fav(orite) photographer… No filter needed.”

Both Top 20 players are enjoying a well-earned rest after wrapping up their up-and-down seasons. Badosa and Tsitsipas both returned to the winners’ circle in 2024, with the Spaniard winning in Washington D.C. and the Greek defending his Monte-Carlo crown—but injuries and off-court struggles put a damper on their efforts.

Badosa shut down her season after reaching the China Open semifinals and the quarterfinals in Ningbo. At the latter, she was forced to retire after a set against Daria Kasatkina due to illness, after struggling with chronic low back injury in 2023 and into this year.

After a month away, Badosa returned to action last week for the Billie Jean King Cup Finals in Malaga, where she pushed Poland’s Iga Swiatek to three sets before eventually falling 6-3, 6-7 (5), 6-1.

Tsitsipas’s season ended back in November, falling short of qualifying for the Nitto ATP Finals after his defeat to Alexander Zverev in the Shanghai quarterfinals. He then went to Turin as an alternate alongside Grigor Dimitrov.

The Greek confirmed he will be coached in 2025 by Dimitris Chatzinikolaou, the coach he hired after firing his father and longtime coach Apostolos following their mid-match argument in Montreal.

With the tennis off-season well underway, Tsitsipas and Badosa have traded the typical tennis player vacation spot with palm trees and beaches, in favor of checking out an icebreaker and braving  -12°C (10°F) temperatures in northern Iceland.

“All aboard the Icebreaker express,” Tsitsipas wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, as he shared photos of snow-covered peaks and glaciers, as well as a shot of the couple snuggled up on a whale watching ship.

Their romantic trip, which also included a visit to Troll Island, seemed to have also been educational as Tsitsipas later shared a long thread titled “The Epic Saga of the ‘Cod Wars’ Between Iceland and the UK” to his followers.

The couple began dating back in June 2023 and have been going strong ever since, barring a brief split in May of this year.
