Tour soulmates Paula Badosa and Aryna Sabalenka met by coincidence in a doubles match. Since they found solace in one another’s company, two big-hitting extroverts, and fellow former number twos have remained inseparable. They have been the closest of friends, even though they once competed against one another. Even though Badosa is quite busy with her Greek boyfriend, she didn’t forget her best friend and displayed friendship goals.

On the occasion of International Friendship Day, this Spanish tennis star recently celebrated her friendship with the winner of the 2023 Australian Open in the most lovely way. Even though they have been friends for more than a year, they have persevered and never allowed their rivalry to undermine the strong friendship they have built. Let’s take a look at her sweet gesture.

Paula Badosa celebrated friendship with Aryna Sabalenka

July 30  is celebrated as International Friendship Day, the day when every friend shares how grateful they are to have the other person around. Similarly, on this beautiful day of friendship, the 33rd-ranked tennis player celebrated her friendship with none other than her WTA friend, Sabalenka. She recently took to her Instagram account to share a story that was posted by a tennis update channel, Wilson Tennis.

In that post, there was a picture of both the tennis besties hugging each other, from the time they played doubles as a pair. She accompanied that lovely post with a heart-hand emoji to mark the occasion of their friendship.

Before turning good friends, they considered each other rivals, but last year things changed when they took a chance to have a double partnership in Miami. And since then, the rest of his history has been written and they never leave a chance to showcase their friendship goals.

When Sabalenka approved Badosa’s romantic relationship

A month ago, the current world number two tennis player, who is rather secretive about her own love life, shared a sweet message for the Tennis hot couple. She actually gave her approval of her best friend’s relationship in that message, just like any other pair of best friends would.

She was extremely delighted for the Spanish tennis player in an interview with the tennis channel following her third-round triumph at Wimbledon. She also admitted that she follows the couple’s shared private Instagram account and that she is really happy for her friend to have found love with the Greek tennis star.

Nevertheless, given the way both of them support each other on and off the tennis court, it won’t be wrong to say that they are true soulmates in terms of friendship.
