Tennis Star Paula Badosa Stuns At Red Carpet Event In 'Gorgeous' Dress
Paula Badosa is back in action for the first time since her opening-round loss at the 2025 Wimbledon Championships.
Unfortunately, Badosa had to withdraw from the US Open due to a lingering back injury. It was a crushing blow for the former No. 2 player in the world, especially since she reached the quarterfinals in New York during the 2024 season.
"It is with a heavy heart that I am announcing my withdrawal from this year's U.S. Open," Badosa wrote on social media. "This decision was incredibly difficult to make. After the amazing run I had in New York last year and the deep connection I feel with the city and its fans, stepping away from this tournament is very emotional for me. The U.S. Open has always meant a great deal to me, and I have created some of my most special memories there."
The good news for Badosa is that she's feeling healthy enough to compete in the China Open. She'll face Antonia Ružić in the Round of 64 this Thursday.
That being said, Badosa isn't waiting until Thursday to make headlines.
Badosa turned heads Wednesday when she showed up to the China Open's red carpet event in a stunning black dress.

The 2025 season started off with a ton of promise for Badosa, who made the semifinals at the Australian Open.
Badosa has reached the quarterfinals of a few minor tournaments this year, but her ranking has dropped to No. 18 due to her lack of availability.
Perhaps a late-season surge is all Badosa needs to re-establish herself as a top-15 player.
