Paula Badosa Gibert (Catalan: [ˈpawlə βəˈðozə ʒiˈβɛɾt]) (born 15 November 1997) is a Spanish professional tennis player.

She won the 2015 French Open girls' singles title by defeating Anna Kalinskaya in the final, and in 2021, she won the Indian Wells Open to take her biggest career title to date. Badosa reached her career-high rankings of world No. 8 in singles on 15 November 2021 and No. 193 in doubles on 20 September 2021.

Early life and background[]

Paula Badosa was born in Manhattan, New York, to Mireia Gibert and Josep Badosa. Both of her parents worked in fashion.[1] When she was seven, they moved to Barcelona. She then started playing tennis, at a club named Playa de Aro. At the age of 14, she moved to Valencia in order to progress in tennis. At the age of 17, she returned to Barcelona.[2]

She speaks Spanish, Catalan, English and a little bit of French, and has been studying high school for about four years at a distance. Her favourite tournament is the US Open.[3] Her idol growing up was Maria Sharapova.[1] Ultimately, Badosa said she is a huge admirer of the tennis star Simona Halep.[4][5]

When she was a child she aspired to be a model, following her parents' path.[6] She has struggled with depression and anxiety.[7]

Junior career[]

Badosa as junior in 2014

Badosa is a former junior world No. 8. She made her debut at the ITF Junior Circuit in September 2012, at the age of 14. In February 2014, she won her first junior singles title at the Grade-1 Mediterranee Avenir in Casablanca. In April 2014, she won the doubles title at a Grade-1 tournament, the Trofeo Juan Carlos Ferrero in Villena. In May 2014, she reached the semifinals of the Grade-A Trofeo Bonfiglio in doubles.

In the juniors division of the 2014 French Open, she reached the quarterfinals in both singles and doubles. She then reached the quarterfinals in the juniors division at Wimbledon in singles. She finished runner-up at the European Junior Championships in singles, losing to compatriot Sara Sorribes Tormo, and finished runner–up in doubles.[8] She completed her junior career at the 2015 French Open, where she won the girls' singles title.[9] In juniors she won three singles and one doubles titles on the circuit.[8]

Professional career[]

2012–20: Breakthrough, top 100 debut[]

Badosa made her debut on the ITF Women's Circuit in May 2012 in Getxo. In November 2013, she won her first title in Sant Jordi.[10] In March 2015, she received a wildcard for the main draw at the Premier Mandatory Miami Open, where she recorded her first two match wins on the WTA Tour. In the third round, she lost to 14th seed Karolína Plíšková. Later, she reached the main draw of the Madrid Open through qualifying, but retired in her first-round match against Sara Errani.[11]

Badosa at the 2018 Nottingham Open

Her breakthrough came at the 2018 Morocco Open, when she reached the quarterfinals and lost to Aleksandra Krunić.[12] In September, she won the $60K Open de Valencia, defeating fellow Spaniard Aliona Bolsova in the final.[10] At the 2019 Australian Open, she made her Grand Slam main-draw debut, after passing qualifying; she lost to wildcard Kimberly Birrell in the first round. In July, she reached her first WTA semifinal at the Palermo Open, but then lost to world No. 5, Kiki Bertens. She followed this by reaching the semifinals of the WTA Challenger Karlsruhe Open.[11] After that, she debuted in the top 100.[13] At the Korea Open, she reached the quarterfinals but then lost to Wang Yafan.[11]

In the early 2020 season, Badosa recorded her first Grand Slam match-win at the Australian Open, defeating qualifier Johanna Larsson in the first round. She then lost to world No. 7, Petra Kvitová.[14] In September, she reached the semifinals at the İstanbul Cup, where she lost to Eugenie Bouchard.[15] Her biggest result of the year was at the French Open, where she reached her first round of 16 at a major tournament.[16] There, she defeated two former Grand Slam champions, Sloane Stephens and Jeļena Ostapenko.[17][18]

2021: Maiden WTA title, French Open quarterfinal, Indian Wells title, WTA Finals & top 10 debuts[]

In April, she defeated seeded players, No. 5 Bencic and No. 1 Barty, at the Charleston Open en-route to the semifinals, where she lost to the eventual champion Veronika Kudermetova.

In May, Badosa reached her first WTA 1000 semifinal at the Madrid Open, making her the first Spanish woman to reach the semifinals in the tournament history,[19] defeating No. 8 seed Belinda Bencic. She faced top seed and world No. 1 Ashleigh Barty in the semifinal, where Barty got her revenge.[20] As a result, Badosa reached a new career-high of World No. 42.

At the Serbia Open, she reached a third straight clay-court semifinal, defeating seventh seed Rebecca Peterson.[21][22] As a result, she entered the top 40 for the first time in her career and went on to win her maiden title after Ana Konjuh retired injured in the final.[23]

Initially unseeded at the French Open, she was promoted to seed No. 33 after the withdrawal of Alison Riske. Badosa beat Lauren Davis and Danka Kovinic in straight sets before facing Ana Bogdan. Having saved a match point in the second set, she went on to take the match in three sets to move into the fourth round of the French for the second year in a row. She then faced former finalist and 20th seed Markéta Vondroušová, whom she defeated in three sets to move into the quarterfinals of a major for the first time in her career.[24][25] Here, despite being up a break in the final set, she fell to Tamara Zidanšek.

Badosa represented Spain in the 2020 Summer Olympics women's singles and women's doubles events. Badosa and her partner Sara Sorribes Tormo beat Mexican pairing Giuliana Olmos and Renata Zarazúa in the first round, before losing in the second to Czech pairing and eventual gold medalists, Barbora Krejčíková and Kateřina Siniaková.[26] In singles, Badosa won her first three matches against French Kristina Mladenovic, Polish Iga Świątek and Argentinian Nadia Podoroska.[27] In her quarterfinals match against the eventual silver medalist, Czech Markéta Vondroušová, Badosa lost her first set before retiring from her match due to heatstroke caused by the hot, humid conditions in Tokyo - ultimately resulting in her having a long medical timeout and needing to leave the court via wheelchair. This, along with complaints from other tennis players such as Daniil Medvedev and Novak Djokovic, was the catalyst for Olympic officials to change the earliest start time for matches from 11am to 3pm.[28]

On 12 August 2021, Badosa parted ways with her coach Javier Martí whom she had worked with for eleven months. This was announced a day after suffering a loss against Rebecca Marino in the round of 16 of the Canadian Open.[29] On 23 August 2021, following her second WTA 1000 quarterfinal at the Cincinnati Open where she defeated en route Petra Martic, third seed Aryna Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina, she reached a career-high in singles of world No. 26. On 17 October 2021, Badosa defeated former two-time champion Victoria Azarenka to win the Indian Wells tournament, for her first WTA 1000 title. Following this successful run, she made her top 10 debut on 8 November 2021. She qualified for the 2021 WTA Finals[30] and was the first in her round robin group to reach the semifinals.[31]

Playing style[]

Badosa preparing for forehand shot at the 2018 Nottingham Open

Badosa is an aggressive baseliner, whose game is centred around her powerful serve and groundstrokes. Badosa has described her serve as her favourite shot,[3] with her serve being a major weapon. Her first serve has been recorded as high as 122 mph (196 km/h), allowing her to serve multiple aces in any given match, and to dictate play from the first stroke. Due to her effective first serve, she typically wins a high percentage of first serve points. She also possesses effective and reliable kick and slice serves that she deploys as second serves, preventing opponents from scoring free points off her second serve; she is also proficient at defending her second serve. When Badosa is nervous, however, she takes risks on her second serve, occasionally leading to a relatively high double fault count.

Badosa's strongest groundstroke is her two-handed backhand, with which she dominates opponents on the court, and she hits large numbers of winners with this shot. Badosa's forehand is also powerful, being hit with relentless depth and power; she frequently utilises the reverse forehand, also known as the 'buggy-whip' forehand, allowing her to generate extreme angles, and hit winners from defensive positions. Badosa likes to play short points, and will frequently utilise aggressive serve and groundstroke combinations to finish points quickly with outright winners.[1]

Despite this, Badosa possesses a remarkably complete defensive game, with her superb movement, footwork, court coverage, and stamina allowing her to counterpunch, and to create opportunities to hit winners at the end of long rallies. She also possesses an effective drop shot, and will employ the sliced backhand to change the pace of rallies, and disrupt her opponent's rhythm. Badosa rarely approaches the net, except to retrieve short balls and drop shots; as she gains more doubles experience, however, she is beginning to attack the net with increasing frequency. She is also a formidable opponent on the court, known for her mental toughness, composure, and strength under pressure.

Badosa's favourite surface is clay, having grown up on the surface, and she has won 85% of her matches on clay courts throughout 2021, up to and including Roland-Garros.[32] Due to her aggressive playing style, clay court prowess, and mental toughness, she has been frequently compared to her idol, Maria Sharapova.[33]

Endorsements[]

Badosa is endorsed by Nike for clothing, shoes, and apparel, and by Wilson for racquets, specifically using the Wilson Blade 98.

Personal life[]

Since 2021, Badosa has been in a relationship with Cuban model and actor, Juan Betancourt. She is multilingual, speaking four languages fluently: Spanish, Catalan, English, and French.[34]

Notes[]

  1. ^ The first Premier 5 event of the year has switched back and forth between the Dubai Tennis Championships and the Qatar Open since 2009. The Dubai Championships were classified as a Premier 5 event from 2009 to 2011 before being succeeded by the Qatar Open for the 2012–2014 period. In 2015, the Dubai Championships regained its Premier 5 status while the Qatar Open was demoted to Premier status. The two tournaments have since alternated status every year.
