We take a deep look at everything that happened this season in women's tennis and how it could influence the upcoming year.
Paula Badosa
The collaboration between the PIF, the Sovereign Fund of Saudi Arabia, and the tennis world, specifically the WTA, continues to strengthen ties. Not only due to the numerous events now taking place in Saudi lands, notably the WTA Finals, but also through the 'signing' of players as country ambassadors, aiming to boost tennis in the region. Following the renowned contract offered to Rafa Nadal, the latest to become an ambassador for the Middle Eastern country is Paula Badosa, who highlighted that she "shares the same values, those of progressing in tennis and empowering the next generation" with the PIF, a key reason for the collaboration.

The ordeal of Paula Badosa continues with injuries. The Spanish player returned to the courts in the Billie Jean King Cup two months after her last match and at the WTA Pekín, she started on the right foot by defeating Antonia Ruzic 6-3, 7-6(2). However, she was forced to retire in tears from her match against Karolina Muchova when she was trailing 4-2. Hopefully, it's less serious than it seems, but her nightmare with injuries seems to have no end.
Paula Badosa retired at 2-4 down in set 1 vs Karolina Muchova.

While the bulk of the professional circuit is making the final efforts of 2025, seeking new goals to end the year on a high note, Paula Badosa has one single goal in mind: 2026. After a few weeks of relaxation and vacation in Bali, the native of Begur has excited all her followers with a video of physical training and a phrase that says it all: "Day 1". Just on October 10th, Paula has already embarked on the path back to the circuit and sets her sights, with her characteristic competitiveness, on a upcoming season of redemption and free of injuries.

Paula Badosa left the WTA 1000 in Beijing with another tough emotional blow, forced to retire in her third-round match against Karolina Muchova. It's painful to see her so shattered on a tennis court again, but don't think she will give up, not at all. In a statement on her social media, the Spanish player expressed her reflections, her feelings, and also left a message for the future to immediately quell the voices that hinted at a more drastic outcome.
"No matter how many obstacles cross my path, I promise this: I will keep fighting, I will keep pushing, and I will keep finding a way to come back," Badosa emphasizes in the final part of her text, leaving the door open for her return in the 2026 season.

Paula Badosa tasted victory once again at the WTA Beijing 2025. The Spanish player defeated Antonia Ruzic 6-3 7-6 in a 96-minute match. Despite currently holding the 18th place in the WTA ranking, Badosa had not secured a win since WTA Berlin in June due to her ongoing back issues, which have limited her consistency over the past year. In the next round, she will face either Karolina Muchova or Sorana Cirstea.
Victorious return of @paulabadosa 🙌

The Spanish Billie Jean King Cup team for 2025 has been eliminated by Ukraine after losing both individual matches, despite Badosa's fighting spirit.
Paula Badosa, Jessica Bouzas, Cristina Bucsa, Leyre Romero, and Aliona Bolsova kick off this Wednesday the adventure of competing in the Billie Jean King Cup Finals. The dream of becoming world champions with Spain unfolds in Shenzhen against Ukraine in the quarter-finals, but before competing, there is time to relax and let emotions flow. A beautiful initiative by the RFET to show the players pictures of themselves when they were little, when they couldn't even imagine they would end up dedicating themselves to this beautiful sport. How will they react when they see those images? Don't miss the video.
