Aryna Sabalenka reacts hilariously to video of best friend Paula Badosa touching her leg in World Tennis League
WTA
World number two Belarus’ Aryna Sabalenka reacted hilariously
to a video of best friend Spain’s Paula Badosa touching her leg in the World Tennis
League.
The two are famous for their friendship and in a video posted
on social media platform X — previously known as Twitter — the two can be seen
spending some good time on the court during the World Tennis League.
That video was reposted by Sabalenka with a hilarious comment:
“Love story @paulabadosa”. In response to that, Badosa could only laugh as she
posted: “Hahahahahahhahahaha this is too good.”
Earlier in October, Sabalenka called Badosa her ‘soulmate’
on the court while explaining what friendship with the 26-year-old means for
her.
"It is very difficult. It doesn't happen very often
that you can find your soulmate on the circuit because we compete against each
other,” she said back then. “But we had this deal: on the court we are
opponents, we can shout whatever we want, but off the court we are friends
again.
“We can take a day, depending on who wins, to accept the
fact that one of us lost, but then we become friends again. It's hard, and I'm
super happy to have her. She is a very nice girl and having her by my side is
very important to me.”
The two are playing together in the doubles category in the
competition and defeated the pair Mirra Andreeva and Sofia Kenin but lost the
next two matches, first against the pair of Elena Rybakina and Sorana Cirstea
and then later against the team of Iga Swiatek and Caroline Garcia.

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026
- Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
