Paula Badosa has become a prominent figure in women’s tennis. The talented Spaniard was born on November 15, 1997, in Manhattan, USA, to Josep Badosa and Mireia Guibert, both of whom worked in the fashion industry. Her parents’ background made it natural for Badosa to explore modeling alongside her tennis career.

However, Badosa decided to pursue tennis after moving to Barcelona, Spain at the age of 7. The World No.12 started out at the Club Tennis d’Aro in Barcelona, where she began training as her passion for the sport grew. She then entered the ITF Junior Circuit in September 2012 at just 14 years old.
