Meet tennis' new sensation Paula Badosa making good of 'new Maria Sharapova' comparisons
Will Paula Badosa win a Grand Slam in her career? Let us know what you think in the comments section. She began to earn plaudits when she became French Open junior champion in 2015, defeating Anna Kalinskaya of Russia in the final - and Badosa publicly said Sharapova was one of her idols due to their similar play styles: “Mentally she is very good, she is a born fighter…I think she is a spectacular player.”Badosa shares similarities with the five-time Grand Slam champion, as they both employ an aggressive, heavy-hitting style.A fan commented on the comparisons between the pair and said it was ‘crazy’ how similar the Spaniard looked to Sharapova, and Badosa welcomed the comparisons while dismissing them.“Haha they say it a lot.
