How much does family support like Jana's contribute to Paula Badosa's shining performance in Beijing?

Paula Badosa is on fire at the China Open, and her journey to the semi-finals has been nothing short of remarkable! With her eyes set on adding another title to her name, the Spanish star is showing the world exactly why she’s a force to be reckoned with on the court. But Paula’s campaign in Beijing isn’t all about her professional triumphs. Off the court, she’s making sure to enjoy some quality downtime, and guess who’s joining her for these off-court adventures? None other than her sister, Jana Badosa! 

The Spanish tennis sensation is gearing up to face Coco Gauff in the semi-finals of the tournament, thereby making it one of the most memorable campaign. But despite the high stakes that are involved in the match, Badosa is not cutting down her off-court activities and is enjoying some mesmerizing time in Beijing. The details of her outings were revealed by her younger sister Jana, who took her Instagram and shared several pictures. 

In the series of pictures shared by Jana, she can be seen enjoying in China along with her sister. From photoshoots at events to capturing some friendly moments with her sister Paula, the young tennis prodigy gave a sneak peek into what the life of her sister is like at the tournament. Captioning the photos, Jana wrote, “Beijing dump 🌸🐼,” with the emojis signifying her adore and enjoyment at the venue.

Remember, Paula Badosa’s sister Jana is also a tennis player like her. However, she has played very less matches and one of them came in May last year at the W60 Naples, FL Tournament where she lost to USA’s Anna Rogers in the R32 by 3-6,1-6. This, meanwhile, is not the first time when the sisters have engaged in such activities and have demonstrated love for each other.

Speaking in an interview, Badosa discussed her sister and said, “She’s the most important person in my life. So I would, she knows that I would do anything for her and I just want her to have an opportunity to do whatever she wants or her dream.” She also desires her sister to taste the elixir of success on courts and play incredibly as she grows in her career. It is probably for this shared love that Badosa has in fact accepted to take up dual roles for her sister.

Last year Badosa shed light on her relationship with her 16-year-old sister during the third episode of ‘My Journey: Paula Badosa.’ “My younger sister, she’s 15 years old. Her name is Jana. We have a 10-year difference so I always felt that, of course, 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. Badosa elaborated on her roles of helping her sister and helping her financially to fulfill her dreams of moving to the US, studying, and learning English. She added, “Her maturity is growing so fast thanks to that, so I’m very proud of her.” Paula Badosa had to overcome plenty of challenges to make it to where she is today.”

For now, it would be interesting to see if Badosa can continue her sensational run at the China Open and clinch the title in Beijing.
