Spain’s Paula Badosa was left amused by a meme posted
different faces related to the release of Barbie and Oppenheimer.
The 25-year-old is currently spending some time on the
sidelines as she continues to recover from a back injury.
Badosa retweeted a tweet with laughter emoji from BNP
Paribas Open’s official Twitter account where two of her pictures were posted
with a caption: “one ticket for #Oppenheimer, one ticket for #Barbie please”.
Badosa suffered an early exit from Wimbledon after suffering
a back injury in the second-round clash against Ukraine’s Marta Kostyuk.
That defeat left Badosa with a mammoth challenge of
reclaiming her good form as she still waiting to win her first major title
despite turning pro back in 2015.
The New York-born has only managed to play quarterfinal in
one of the Grand Slams which was in the French Open back in 2021 where she
ended up on the losing side against Slovenia’s Tamara Zidansek.
Other than that, she
has never managed to play beyond the fourth round in any of the other Grand
Slam events.
