Paula Badosa is just hours away from making her debut at Wimbledon 2026, following a strong performance at the WTA Berlin 2026, where she reached the quarterfinals of the German tournament and defeated Coco Gauff along the way. After a forgettable clay court season, the Badalona native is confident in having a good run at the London Grand Slam, where she will face American Emma Navarro in her first match. But before the action begins, Badosa spoke with Movistar+ where she had to address the harsh criticism she receives for her dancing videos, sometimes featuring the world number one, Aryna Sabalenka.
Paula Badosa speaks out about the hate she receives on social media
"What I do on social media is very me, and speaking on behalf of Aryna, it's very us. I've been this way since I was little, and I'm not going to stop being that way. Obviously, there is hate, saying that we are distracted and not training, but there are so many free hours in the day and so many things I do besides training. Hate has to exist because otherwise, there wouldn't be love, I understand it that way, but it is unpleasant because in the end, they focus on something very small which is that we are human and we want to have a good time."

The close friendship between Aryna Sabalenka and Paula Badosa is well known. Both are among the main attractions of a WTA circuit lacking figures that go beyond the limits of the court, and both the Spanish and the Belarusian do just that. However, one of their videos from last year in which both were in bikinis sparked too much criticism on social media.
