She has won three WTA Tour singles titles, with her biggest victory coming at the 2021 Indian Wells Masters, a WTA 1000 event. At Grand Slams, her best result is a quarterfinal appearance at the 2021 French Open. As a junior, she was ranked as high as No. 8 and won the 2015 French Open girls' singles title. She broke into the top 100 in 2019 after making her second consecutive WTA Tour semifinal at the Karlsruhe Open, and by 2021 she had entered the top 10 after a breakthrough clay-court season that included her maiden WTA title in Belgrade and a deep run at Indian Wells.
Badosa has green eyes and blonde hair, and she competes with no tattoos or piercings. She is straight and identifies as Caucasian. Her Instagram following has grown to 1.3 million, a reflection of her success on and off the court. She continues to compete at the highest level, maintaining her position among the sport's elite.
