Paula Badosa's excitement levels appeared to be on a surge amid the comeback in Miami. The WTA star shared "behind the scenes" glimpses from her on-and off-court preparations for the upcoming hardcourt event. She shared a clip on Instagram, including moments from her practice sessions with Ons Jabeur. The video also showcased a moment in which she can be seen sharing a warm embrace with Stefanos Tsitsipas.

"Behind the scenes at @miamiopen 📹☀️🌴," the video caption said.

Tsitsipas was quick enough to showcase his love for the Spaniard. He dropped a 3-word response in the comment section, teasing his beloved for being around him all the time.

"Stop goofing around 😘," he wrote.

WTA star Paula Badosa has struggled with confidence when it comes to realizing her full potential at major events. The Spaniard admitted that reaching the Australian Open semifinals was an experience she’s unsure she could replicate. After defeating Coco Gauff to secure a spot in the top eight, she said:

“A year ago I was here... I didn’t know if I’d have to retire from the sport. I won today. I’m in the semi-finals. I would never think a year later I would be here,” she said, during the on-court interview.

Although the toll of injuries is still haunting her, the WTA star admitted to having better control over her emotions.

"I am a bit emotional, overcoming something like this. Today, I wanted to play my best game. Coco, at the beginning, played intense tennis, but I am super proud of the level I gave today. I have been through a lot. In the past, I was one of the best players in the world, but now I am a better player, more matured. I manage my emotions little better," she added.

Currently ranked at No. 11, the Spaniard is now looking forward to moving up into the top 10 with a slight difference against Emma Navarro.
