Sabalenka won the Australian Open and had a much-break over the following weeks. She celebrated her win and will now return to tennis in the Dubai Tennis Championships. As the winner of the first slam of the year, the Belarusian beauty gave a pre-tournament press conference in Dubai and talked about her friendship with Badosa, as the two are often seen having a great time together.
“I think it’s important. I think it’s important to have a friend, especially on tour. It also can help to handle your emotions, like talk to somebody. Paula, we agreed from the beginning on the court we’re opponents, off court we’re friends. Off the court you can swear, say whatever you like. That’s a good balance of friendship.”
Aside from Sabalenka sharing how she feels about her, we have seen the two interact often. We also saw Badosa being called her soulmate as the two shared sweet messages for one another.
