Who doesn’t look forward to the off-season after a hectic schedule? While some players choose to begin their preparations for the next season early, some prefer to spend quality time with their family and friends. Looks like Spanish beauty, Paula Badosa has chosen the latter. Badosa is taking part in an exhibition event, the World Tennis League, alongside the likes of Iga Swiatek and Stefanos Tsitsipas in UAE. But amid her professional commitments, she found some time to make her way to the movie theatre alongside her sister Jana.

Taking to her official X handle, Badosa wrote, “Came to watch Moana 2 with my little sis. Bringing back our childhood memories…Best Saturday date night.” The Spanish beauty followed her comment with a teary-eyed and a heart emoji. Moana 2 is an animated musical adventure film starring Dwayne Johnson, Temuera Morrison, Nicole Scherzinger, and Rachel House. It has grossed a whopping $717 Million worldwide and is now on its way to becoming one of the highest-earning animated movies of all time.

This isn’t the only time that Badosa and her sister have caught the eyes of the tennis world with their adorable relationship. Recently, Paula lit up Dubai with killer dance moves with her sister Jana. The duo danced to Akon’s chart-topping hits as they enjoyed ‘A Beautiful Day’ in Dubai, a video of which Jana uploaded on her Instagram story. Paula is 10 years older than Jana and has previously said that she feels like a second mother to her. “I protect her so much, especially the role I am playing with her right now, financially, I’m helping her,” Badosa revealed.

Badosa had a mixed 2024 season, as she reached the quarterfinal of the US Open and the semifinal of the China Open. Making a comeback this year after injuries, Badosa won a big WTA year-end honor as well, which invited a special shoutout from her boyfriend, Stefanos Tsitsipas.

Stefanos Tsitsipas ‘couldn’t be prouder’ of Paula Badosa’s achievement

Badosa made a comeback this year after a career-threatening injury and was inside the top 70 at the start of the season. However, with some consistent performances, she made it to the top 15 in the year-end WTA rankings. As a result, Badosa was awarded the WTA Comeback Player of the Year award for the 2024 season.
