Paula Badosa and Garbine Muguruza know each other well from the national team and from playing on the tour together and younger Badosa has a lot of respect for her compatriot.
Muguruza is a two-time grand slam champion so far having won the French Open in 2016 and Wimbledon 2018. She also played in the Australian Open final two years ago but lost it to Kenin. Her compatriot Badosa believes Muguruza has what it takes to win several grand slams during a year as she explained in a talk with ESPN Desportes:
"Winning all four Grand Slams is what everyone dreams of, maybe saying it puts pressure on me, but that's good, you have to dream big. She has a talent for doing it, she has shown it. She is a very competitive and eager person."

Muguruza defeated Badosa at the WTA Finals in the semifinals moving on to the finals. She ultimately won the event closing off a pretty good year for herself that was slightly derailed by an injury. Badosa looked at Muguruza as an inspiration as she was climbing her way up the rankings. She said:
"She is a player who has always been a mirror in which to look at
myself. She broke all the stereotypes. Such
a dynamic and aggressive game was not common in Spanish tennis. She
is tall, different, my favorite. She has a game that I loved when I was
growing up. I have always said that I would like to go where she has
arrived."

- I predicted whenthe list was finalised that Linda Noskova would win the WTA Finals and her matches against Gauff and Kostyuk prove that. She is the best (underrated) player in the world!Rapunzel11-11-2026
- 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.
mandoist09-11-2026 - Ironically, Martina became a U.S. Citizen about the same time as the Orange Convicted Felon & Abuser was just beginning on his road to losing all Daddy's Millions!!
mandoist09-11-2026 - "Another fresh start is in the cards." Thanks for the Humor!! I'm guessing this is the minimum one can do to keep all your sponsors hanging-on in perpetuity?
mandoist09-11-2026 - 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 - Wtf? Why is there no reason? And what about the men's?Bel08-11-2026
- 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 - Enough of her bullshit. Go marry someone.
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
