Following the conclusion of her 2024 season, Paula Badosa and Stefanos Tsitsipas took a trip to Iceland to spend some time away from tennis. She has since returned to her “home sweet home” in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, where she shared an adorable sketch of herself and Tsitsipas.

“Home sweet home,” Badosa captioned her Instagram story.

After an injury-plagued 2023 season, Paula Badosa returned to the court in 2024 at the Adelaide International. She received a wildcard entry to the main draw but lost in the opening round to lucky loser Bernarda Pera.

The Spaniard clinched one title this year – the 2024 Citi Open title by defeating Marie Bouzkova in the finals. She also reached the semifinals at the Cincinnati Open and China Open, losing to Jessica Pegula and Coco Gauff, respectively.

Badosa also reached the quarterfinals at the Bad Homburg Open, losing to eventual champion Diana Shnaider. She also reached the last eight at the US Open, where she lost to Emma Navarro.

The 27-year-old wrapped up her 2024 season by representing Spain in the first round of the 2024 Billie Jean King Finals against Poland. She faced former World No.1 Iga Swiatek in a singles match, ultimately losing 3-6, 7-6(5), 1-6.

The Spanish team ultimately lost 2-0 and subsequently failed to secure a spot in the quarterfinals.

Paula Badosa on her 2024 season: “I’m very proud of myself, I’m back where I wanted to be”

After her 2024 season, Paula Badosa took to social media to reflect on her tennis year. Expressing gratitude for overcoming the challenges this year brought, she wrote:

“Because of health issues my 2024 season has ended. Has been a very long season where I overcame situations I thought they were impossible,” she wrote in her now-deleted Instagram story.

Badosa also said she was “proud” of herself for making a strong comeback to the court in 2024 after a difficult 2023 campaign.

“I’m very proud of myself. I’m back where I wanted to be and where I was aiming since my comeback (one of the best players in the world again). Already looking forward to recover well. Thank you for the support always. See you soon,” she added

Despite starting the season outside the Top 50 ranking, her good performances propelled her into the Top 20 as she ended the year as the World No.12.
