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.

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.
