Paula Badosa’s 2025 Australian Open adventure is over. The Catalan did not enter the grand final after losing (6-4, 6-2) to Aryna Sabalenkahis best friend on the circuit.
Their great relationship was evident after the game, when they were joined in an emotional hug. But the matter did not end there. The world number 1 remembered his best friend in his remarks on court.
“It doesn’t matter what happens on the track. Let’s continue to be friends. It was complicated, but we agreed on that. “I think we are doing well, I hope she continues to be my friend,” he said before joking about Paula’s reaction.
“He’ll probably hate me for the next day or two. I’m fine, then I think we’ll be friends again, hang out and go shopping. Promise we’ll go shopping and I’ll pay you whatever you want, although I’ll put a limit because he might go crazy.Sabalenka said to the laughter of the audience.
“I’m very proud of myself and my team for putting us in this situation, it’s a privilege, and if I can put my name in history it’s something I didn’t dream of. I dreamed of winning a Grand Slam, and now I have this opportunity, I will leave everything in the final. Thanks to everyone for this environment,” added the Belarusian, who will face either Iga Swiatek or Madison Keys on Saturday.
