PICTURE: Paula Badosa soaks in the sun with sister Jana as she carries on off-season training in Dubai

Spain's WTA World No. 12 Paula Badosa on Friday shared a glimpse of her life amid her off-season training in Dubai. The Spaniard was joined by her sister Jana and rising Venezuelan tennis star Carlos Silvestre.

Badosa and Jana wore two-piece bikini suits as the trio posed in front of what appeared to be a residential complex in Dubai.

"Friyay," the Spaniard captioned the post.

Badosa has been sweating it out in Dubai in preparation for the 2025 season. Earlier this month, she shared a couple of snaps on her Instagram which showed her returning to the tennis court in Dubai for her pre-season training.

The post garnered praise from former US Open Champion Emma Raducanu, who is among Badosa's closest friends on the tour. Badosa also hit the courts with former World No. 1 Simona Halep, as the Romanian is making a return to the sport after her 4-year ban for taking banned substances was cut short.

"I think she's going to be back on the top very soon," Badosa said in March 2024 on the Romanian's comeback. "These kind of players, you can never doubt about them because they've been great champions."

After an injury-hit 2023, the former World No. 2 surged back this year, winning her fourth title at the Washington Open. A few weeks later, she also made the quarterfinals at Flushing Meadows. The Spaniard finished the year with a 31-18 win-loss record.

“I'm very proud of myself," Badosa posted on Instagram. "I'm back where I wanted to be and where I was aiming since my comeback."

The Spaniard will return to action at the World Tennis League in Abu Dhabi later this month, partnering with her boyfriend Stefanos Tsitsipas, multiple Grand Slam winner Iga Swiatek, and Hubert Hurcacz as part of 'Team Eagles.'
