There are over 8 billion people in the world. Everyone has features that make them distinct from one another. However, some people bear such a stark resemblance that it becomes difficult to distinguish one from the other. Paula Badosa is one player who bears some striking similarities to Maria Sharapova when it comes to her looks. 

In a recent fan tweet, Badosa was seen wearing her tennis top in a peculiar fashion. It reminded that fan of a certain Russian tennis legend. Like Sharapova, Badosa found success in the sport early on in her career. But the Spaniard also suffered through anxiety and depression, mainly after she was compared to Sharapova. While the Spaniard was happy that she was compared to a great player, she also felt that it put unnecessary pressure on her. 

Paula Badosa or Maria Sharapova? Fans can’t tell the difference!

A recent post on Twitter shared a picture of the Spanish player as she was signing autographs. While people were struck by her beauty, most of them were also astounded by how similar she was to Maria Sharapova. They went on to share their amazement at the uncanny resemblance. Several users also left hilarious comments.

One user quoted the tweet and mashed the name of the two together.

Similarly, another user did the same in a creative manner.

Fans of the two players were left scratching their heads about how the two players were undistinguishable in some aspects.

Fans have compared the striking physical similarities of Badosa and Sharapova quite often. When she was as young as 18, fans of the sport saw similarities between the two.
