Paula Badosa has been struggling with injuries for more than a year. She is now back in competition, and she impressed after reaching the 3rd round at the Australian Open after dropping just 9 games in 2 matches.
During the press conference, she was asked to explain the secret of her success after being out for 6 months. Paula is currently dating Stefanos Tsitsipas, and while she could have pointed at her boyfriend as the secret of her success, she hilariously answered, “My talent!”
Here is the video.
