Paula Badosa Gibert (Catalan: [ˈpawlə βəˈðozə ʒiˈβɛɾt]) (born 15 November 1997) is a Spanish professional tennis player. She has been ranked as high as world No. 2 in singles by the WTA and No. 124 in doubles, achieved on 25 April 2022. She has won four WTA Tour singles titles, including a WTA 1000 event in Indian Wells, and reached a major semifinal at the 2025 Australian Open.
As a junior, Badosa was ranked as high as No. 8 in the world and was the 2015 French Open junior champion. As a professional, she broke into the top 100 in 2019. The next year, a fourth round berth at the French Open brought her into the top 70. Badosa made new strides in 2021 after a breakthrough clay swing when she won her first career title in Belgrade. She entered the top ten following a WTA 1000 title at Indian Wells, and peaked at world No. 2 in early 2022. Subsequent injury struggles led Badosa dropping out of the world's top 100 in early 2024 before resurging in the latter half of the season, returning to the top 15 and being named the Comeback Player of the Year.
Badosa is an aggressive baseliner, whose game style is centered around her big serve and groundstrokes. At 1.80 m (5 ft 11 in), she possesses one of the fastest serves on tour, allowing her to dictate rallies, but she is also an athletic counterpuncher, whose defense has enabled her to reach drop shots and cover all angles on the court.
