Emma Raducanu sends her love to Paula Badosa as she basks in the "golden hour" after Bad Homburg Open 2R win, Spaniard responds in kind
Emma Raducanu has sent her love to Paula Badosa after the Spaniard's second-round win at the 2024 Bad Homburg Open. Badosa is through to the quarterfinals of the WTA 500 event, bolstering her confidence in the lead-up to the Wimbledon Championships.
Badosa is delivering a strong campaign at the Bad Homburg Open in Germany, claiming a commanding 6-4, 6-1 win over Arantxa Rus in her tournament opener. She then booked her place in her maiden grasscourt quarterfinal by coming back from a set down to beat Jule Niemeier 4-6, 6-2, 6-1.
In the on-court interview following her hard-fought win, the former World No. 2 hilariously disclosed her plans to unwind with a visit to the spa.
"Come on. What is this town known for? The most important: spa," she said. "I will practice, rest a bit, maybe I will go to the spa. That's my day tomorrow."
The 26-year-old also took to social media to celebrate her success, sharing a picture of herself basking in the "golden hour" sun after her victory.
"Golden hour 💛," she captioned her Instagram post.
Emma Raducanu affectionately extended her support to Paula Badosa by showering her with heart emojis, with the Spaniard responding in kind.
"❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️," Raducanu commented.
"💗💗💗," the Spaniard replied.
Raducanu herself achieved a significant victory at the Rothesay International in Eastbourne ahead of the grasscourt Major, beating Sloane Stephens 6-4, 6-0 in her opening match at the WTA 500 event.
