The fourth-ranked American tennis player Amanda Anisimova commented on the friendship between Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka and Spanish Paula Badosa.
I really like how Aryna and Paula create a pleasant atmosphere off the court, whether we are training or just hanging out together. It’s very relaxed and great.
I like that she is at the top, ranked number one, and still maintains a very professional approach, but at the same time proves that it’s possible to have a good time and have fun off the court. I think she is pushing the boundaries in terms of maintaining balance. I really like that.
I personally enjoy having a good time with other players. I feel like I have a lot of good relationships on tour, and I think that’s very important for me personally. I mean, we spend more time with each other than with family and friends. I think it’s important to maintain those relationships and to be able to have a good time off the court,” Anisimova said, as reported by The Tennis Gazette.
