Aryna Sabalenka and fellow tennis player Paula Badosa enjoyed a fun night in Canada on Saturday.
Sabalenka and Badosa's friendship is well-known in tennis circles. From pranking each other with fake birthday parties to enjoying each other's company while dining together, the duo has experienced plenty of joyous moments together in the recent past.
Earlier this year, Badosa spoke of Sabalenka's presence in Netflix's Break Point. And at the 2023 Wimbledon Championships, Badosa hilariously interrupted Sabalenka's training session and later clicked pictures together.
Their fans have labeled the friendship 'Sabadosa.'
The duo even met each other and clicked pictures as they were training in Montreal ahead of the 2023 Canadian Open. Sabalenka shared the clicked picture on her socials and expressed admiration for the image.
"OMG! I love this pic," she wrote on her Instagram story.
On Saturday, Aryna Sabalenka posted a few snippets from their "night out" in Montreal. The tennis pros attended the Cirque du Soleil show in Montreal, Canada.
"Fun fun fun from last night🎪🤯🤩🤩🤩 With my girl @paulabadosa," the Belarusian captioned her Instagram post.
The 2023 Australian Open winner further posted a few more videos on her Instagram story. Sabalenka was seemingly left awestruck by the performances at Cirque du Soleil.
The Belarusian captioned her Instagram stories, "Just wooow," and "OMG."
Aryna Sabalenka and Paula Badosa are competing at the Canadian Open 2023
Both Aryna Sabalenla and Paula Badosa are both returning to action at the 2023 Canadian Open, later this week.
Sabalenka, the World No. 2, had a strong run at Wimbledon before being stopped by Ons Jabeur in the semifinals. She has received a bye in the first round at Montreal and will kick off her campaign in the second round. However, her opponent is yet to be known.
Badosa, on the other hand, had a forgettable Wimbledon campaign. The Spaniard returned to Wimbledon after an injury but was forced to retire midmatch due to another health issue in the second round against Ukraine's Marta Kostyuk.
Badosa will take on Brazil's Beatriz Haddad Maia in the first round of the Montreal tournament. In the second round, the Spaniard could meet Canada's Leylah Fernandez.
