‘When this old world gets you down, when your spirit’s on the ground just remember I will always be around. Just climb on the wings of my love. I’ll take you high on the wings of my love.’?Michael Jackson perhaps would’ve dedicated these lines from his song ‘Wings of My Love’ to one of his biggest fans in tennis, Paula Badosa. The 25-year-old Spaniard has been struggling with injuries for quite a while now. But in the meantime, she came out to express her love for the ‘King of Pop’.

It has been more than 120 days since she last appeared on the court. Paula Badosa last appeared in Wimbledon this year where she faced Ukraine’s Marta Kostyuk.

Paula Badosa said, “I’ve seen him perform a couple of times, but I would love to see a Bad Bunny concert again. The energy he has live is insane. In addition to salsa and reggaeton, I like Latin rhythms. I always listen to music on my headphones before stepping on the track. It depends on the mood of the day and against whom it competes, although one of my fixed is Michael Jackson, whom, by the way, I would have loved to meet.

Paula Badosa’s fans plead ‘Don’t Stop ’till You Get Enough‘ while she is seen ‘Working Day and Night‘ to ‘Get on The Floor‘ with a ‘Smile‘ ‘Up Again‘. Can she make a stronger comeback next year? Only time will tell. But when it comes to potential, she has an abundance of it.
