Paula Badosa says what she loves most about Aryna Sabalenka and explains what she’s really like away from the court
Aryna Sabalenka and Paula Badosa are currently focusing on Qatar Open success, having just taken on each other at the Australian Open.
Sabalenka and Badosa are close friends, although that was put to the test in their Australian Open semi-final.
Badosa beat Coco Gauff to reach the last four in Melbourne, overcoming the world number three in straight sets for her best-ever Grand Slam finish.
But Badosa then lost by the same result to world number one Sabalenka, who went on to lose the final to Madison Keys.
The Spaniard failed to capitalise on her momentum at the Abu Dhabi Open, losing her round of 16 meeting with Linda Noskova.

A Qatar Open round of 64 tie with Katerina Siniakova is now on the agenda, with top seed Sabalenka earning a bye into the round of 32.
Badosa’s true thoughts on the Belarusian have now become clear, with the former saying of the latter on Tennis For Everyone with Pavel Kisly: “She is a woman with a very big heart, very kind and sweet but what I love the most from her is that she is such a strong character, big personality and a big fighter, so I really like that and I think she inspires me as a strong woman.
“She has been through a lot and she always finds a way. In tough moments I think she even has more strength and more power.
“So knowing her from the inside and outside, on court and off court, she is like a teddy bear but also a tiger so it is a combination that I feel a bit like her. It is very inspiring to see her.”
How many WTA Tour titles do Aryna Sabalenka and Paula Badosa have?
Sabalenka has proven those characteristics time and again, with the 26-year-old boasting 18 WTA Tour titles.
Three of those have come in Grand Slams, with the Belarusian having also lost in two major singles finals over the years.
She will have undoubtedly found it quite tricky to overcome such a close companion in Badosa, but her professionalism came to the fore in Melbourne.
After a stunning 2024 season, Sabalenka would have wanted to clinch a third successive Australian Open title, but Keys had other plans.

Iga Swiatek looks to reach the Australian Open final for the first time as she faces Madison Keys at the Rod Lever Arena in the women’s singles semi-finals this morning.
The Pole’s only appearance at stage of the tournament came in 2022 when she was beaten by Danielle Collins in straight sets. But, Swiatek is in fine form having beaten all of her opponents over two sets in this campaign including Emma Raducanu in the third round and Emma Navarro in the quarter-finals despite some controversy over a double bounce point.
Her opponent, Keys, also last reached the semi-finals in 2022 but was beaten by Ashleigh Barty who went on to win the tournament. Keys’s previous two outing saw her battle past Elena Rybakina in the fourth round then Elina Svitolina in the quarters. The American has had a tougher run but is a wiley competitior and should give Swiatek some trouble.
Before the duo took to court, reigning champion Aryna Sabalenka defeated Paula Badosa 6-4 6-2 in straight sets during the first semi-final of the day.

“We know how to separate things,” Badosa added.
“We decided a long time ago that off the court we are friends, while on the court she really wants to win, I really want to win,” said Sabalenka, who beat Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in the quarter-finals.
“So on the court we are competitors and there is no place for friendship.”

Stefanos Tsitsipas was told off while watching Paula Badosa’s mid-match outburst.
The ATP No. 12 crashed out in the opening round of the Australian Open but his girlfriend is still alive and faced Marta Kostyuk in a tight third-round contest.
During the match, Badosa struggled with the wind and vented to her box. And a commentator told Tsitsipas that his response was “the last thing you want to tell a woman”.
Badosa found herself embroiled in a rollercoaster match on Friday as she faced 17th seed Kostyuk. The Spaniard took the first set 6-4 but suddenly fell 0-5 behind in the second.
Tensions boiled over during the next changeover as Badosa shouted over at her box, wildly gesturing about how windy it was and even offering her racket to her team so they could attempt to play in her place.
Tsitsipas, who was sat among Badosa’s coaches, got involved and tried to calm his girlfriend down. However, commentator Chanda Rubin wasn’t impressed with his response.
“The back and forth from Tsitsipas. It’s been windy and she was hand-miming the struggles she has had,” she said.
“And this is maybe the last thing you want to tell a woman that you’re in a relationship with. Calm down? Excuse me? You come play! And she was asking him, do you want to play today?”
Badosa found a new gear after unleashing her emotions, storming back to win four games in a row. But her deficit was too big and she couldn’t get back into the set as Kostyuk took it 6-4.
The No. 11 seed eventually survived, winning 6-4 4-6 6-3 to book her spot in the second week. Afterwards, she clarified that her outburst was aimed at her coach, not Tsitsipas.
“First of all, it wasn’t with Stefanos. It was with my coach,” she laughed.
“No, but I get it because now I was before coming here, I was on social media, and everyone was, like, Paula and Stefanos. They like to create all that because, of course, it’s going to get more views if they say Stefanos than if they say my coach.
“I’m always interacting with my coach, honestly. He’s the one that’s there with me. Stefanos is just a support. It’s emotional support. But he’s been supporting me so, so much on that.”
Badosa also took to social media to defend her boyfriend, tweeting: “I wasn’t with Stef it was with my coach that was in front of Stef. Let’s not try to create drama. Stef was the best supporter out there.”
The Spanish tennis star will now face either Jessica Pegula or Olga Danilovic for a spot in the quarter-final.
Stefanos Tsitsipas told ‘this is the last thing to tell a woman’ in Paula Badosa outburst | Tennis | SportGreek tennis star Stefanos Tsitsipas found himself in hot water after a heated exchange with Spanish player Paula Badosa during a recent match. In a moment captured on camera, Tsitsipas can be heard telling Badosa, “this is the last thing to tell a woman” before storming off the court.
The incident has sparked controversy and raised questions about gender equality in tennis. Many fans and analysts have criticized Tsitsipas for his comments, with some calling them sexist and disrespectful.
Tsitsipas has since apologized for his outburst, saying that his words were taken out of context and that he meant no offense. However, the incident has reignited a conversation about the treatment of women in sports and the need for greater respect and equality.
As the tennis world continues to grapple with issues of sexism and discrimination, it is clear that there is still much work to be done. Let’s hope that incidents like this serve as a wake-up call for all players to treat each other with respect and dignity, regardless of gender.
