Sabalenka kept her promise to Badosa: "She said she forgave me".
Aryna Sabalenka beat Paula Badosa in the semi-finals of the last Australian Open.
The two players are very good friends off the court.
In her post-match interview on Rod Laver Arena, Sabalenka promised Badosa she would "go shopping and buy her whatever she wants".
Although they clearly didn't have time to go shopping together, Sabalenka didn't forget her friend and bought her a bracelet, as she showed on her Instagram account with this caption: "She said she forgave me".
