WATCH: Aryna Sabalenka drops unexpected NSFW word on camera while blaming Paula Badosa for not teaching her Spanish at WTL

During a post-match interview at the World Tennis League (WTL) in Abu Dhabi, Aryna Sabalenka humorously blamed her close friend Paula Badosa for not teaching her appropriate Spanish vocabulary. Sabalenka remarked, “I was just showing off my Spanish skills. Come on, it’s your fault! You—you—you have to teach me better stuff than pu*a.”

This light-hearted exchange followed their match where Sabalenka, representing the Hawks, teamed up with Mirra Andreeva to defeat the Eagles’ duo of Iga Swiatek and Paula Badosa in women’s doubles. Sabalenka also secured a singles victory against Badosa, contributing to the Hawks’ overall lead.

Sabalenka and Badosa share a close friendship, often referred to by fans as “Sabadosa.” Their camaraderie is evident both on and off the court, with Sabalenka previously describing Badosa as her “soulmate” during a press conference in Stuttgart.

Both players are set to begin their 2025 season at the Brisbane International, scheduled from December 29, 2024, to January 5, 2025. Sabalenka aims to defend her Australian Open title, while Badosa seeks her first Major victory.
