Paula Badosa recently shared a heartwarming selfie with her sister, Jana. The photo captured a sweet moment where Jana is seen peacefully asleep on Badosa's shoulder.

The former World No. 2 wrapped up her 2024 season by representing Spain in the first round of the 2024 Billie Jean King Cup Finals against Poland. She faced Iga Swiatek in a singles match, ultimately falling short with a score of 3-6, 7-6(5), 1-6.

Following the conclusion of her tennis season, Badosa spent some time away from tennis. She spent her time off with her loved ones and also enjoyed a romantic holiday in Iceland with her boyfriend Stefanos Tsitsipas.

Badosa also participated in the World Tennis League held in Abu Dhabi where she was a part of Team Eagles alongside Swiatek, Tsitsipas, and Alexander Shevchenko. Her sister, Jana, also joined her in the United Arab Emirates during the exhibition tournament.

Recently, Paula Badosa took to social media to share an endearing selfie with her sister where Jana is seen hugging the former World No. 2 from behind while asleep on her shoulder.

After an injury-plagued 2023 season, Badosa returned to the court in 2024 at the Adelaide International where she fell in the first round. She won one title this year, the Citi Open. She also had semifinal runs at the Cincinnati Open and the China Open.

The Spaniard started the 2024 season outside the Top 50 ranking but her good performances pushed her into ending the year as the World No. 12. She also won the Comeback Player of the Year at the WTA Awards.
