It is quite easy to take a picture with someone in this day and age. One can simply whip out their phone and do it in a matter of seconds. However, even after the ease of it, close friends are often the ones who do not have enough pictures together. Sabalenka and Badosa are no different. The lack of pictures they have together made Saba share her wish on her Instagram story.

She first shared the infamous picture where she and Badosa were patting each other with the caption, “My fav 🍑 on tour 😂🙈❤️“. She also shared a picture of her hugging the Spaniard and picking her up with the caption, “Babe we need to do more content together, was trying to find some cool pics with you… we only have a few“.
