Paula Badosa celebrated a good friend Aryna Sabalenka’s A US Open title with great prestige and appeal.
Two-time Australian Open champion Sabalenka defeated Jessica Pegula 7-5, 7-5 to claim her first US Open title on Saturday.
The victory came one year after Sabalenka lost a set to Coco Gauff in the 2023 final.
After that, Sabalenka took to social media to thank fans and friends for their support.
That prompted a funny response from Badosa.
I can’t believe I did it 🏆
Thank you everyone for your support ❤️— Sabalenka Aryna (@SabalenkaA) September 8, 2024

“Believe it. Crazy success!” Badosa replied. “You are a strong woman! I’m so happy for you! You inspire so many people (and me) ps: please leave it to others… (especially me).”
