Professional tennis player Paula Badosa candidly discussed the special bond she shares with her younger sister Jana. She proclaimed her dedication to helping her sister achieve her dreams. Badosa could not compete since May this year after sustaining a stressful fracture in her spine during the 2023 Italian Open. Although she briefly returned to play at Wimbledon, she was forced to withdraw mid-match against Marta Kostyuk in the second round.

Badosa shared she has taken on a protective, caring role for her teenage sister. She even subsidizes Jana’s dream of moving to and living in the United States.

Paula Badosa realized her sister’s dream

“My younger sister, she’s 15 years old. Her name is Jana. We have a 10 year difference. I’m her older sister but as I say, at the same time, I always felt like I had to like, be her second mom,” she said.
