In a video Sabalenka posted to her Instagram story on Saturday, a grinning Badosa could be seen unwrapping a shimmering piece of jewelry, which appeared to be a bracelet, as a giggling Sabalenka watched.
“I love it,” the world No. 10 could be seen saying to Sabalenka behind the camera before the clip ended.
Captioning the post, Sabalenka wrote, “She said she forgave me,” with a crying-laughing emoji.
After her Melbourne victory, the three-time major champion now boasts six straight wins against Badosa. And with a potential semifinal meeting looming for the two at the season’s first WTA 1000 event, the world No. 1 might be wise to mind her bank account.
