Bados tennis biography

Spanish Paula Bados is known in tennis with GO, when at 17 the years old passed two circles at the WTA debut tournament - representative Miami - and a couple of months later the junior Roland Garros won. Then Paula, who, according to the Spanish tradition, who performed both with his father’s Bados and the mother’s mother’s surnames, was remembered by the attacking game and that in all the profiles about her was comically emphasized that she was born on Manhattan and not just in New York.

Over the past six years, another tennis player with a multicultural background - the same age as Bados Naomi Osaka - won four “helmets” and became the most relevant athlete of the world. This year she excited the tennis world, saying that her success was fraught with depression and confusion. Bados talked about this two years ago - in the season, when she stood outside the top and debuted on “large helmets”.

In Spain, they expected me that in a year I would be in the top when I was still playing juniors. I experienced stress and constant anxiety due to the fact that I was obliged to win every match. It was very difficult. And then the moment came, ”Bados told in a video dedicated to her psychological struggle,“ when I realized that I could really become a professional and fulfill my dreams.

” But along with this understanding, fear came that I could not explain. I did not understand what and why was happening, and could not compete for two months. It was hard for me outside the court and on the court it was also terrible, just terrible. ” Obvious parallels with Sharapova, who crushed on young Bados, over the years have become motivation for her: “I have adopted, and now, on the contrary, it gives me confidence when people compare me with such an outstanding tennis player, which is also my idol.

This is a flattering comparison. " The progress of the Bados was gradual: last year she, along with the main tournaments, played on the ITF round. Since then, it began to bother her shoulder - an injury that always causes a special alarm - and she also broke up with the coach. But this did not stop her from the fifth “helmet” in Indian-wells to make a positive seasonal balance against the top, in four matches in a row to beat rivals from the top and, on the decisive tie-break, drag the finals against the two-time champion of the tournament Victoria Azarenko.

At the courts of her, at the age of seven, Mirla's mother brought her mother in a photo, who loved tennis. Before thinking about a career as a professional, Little Paula wanted to become a model - like both of her parents.

Now Bados says that in childhood it rotated in bohemian circles and intersected with different celebrities, and once she even attended the photo shoot of the Williams sisters but did not know who they were because she had not yet engaged in tennis. At the same time, my style is quite simple, basic. I do not like to go out. My favorite designer is Armani.

I was lucky to meet him because my parents worked with him. ” In addition to the fashion industry, Josep Bados and Mirla Gibert were participants and art scenes: in the zero, for example, they worked at the famous art center of the First Street in Jersi-City through Hudson from Manhattan, demolished in m after a conflict with developer. Josep, Mirla and Little Paula appear in the FIRST Street documentary.

From Paris to Jersey City below is a frame from it. Josep and Paula, before the transition to Bados professionals at different times, trained in Barcelona and Valencia. She says that she remembers almost nothing about American childhood, but the first years on the tour, she still thought to represent the United States. She also loves Paris, because it often happens there with her mother - "take a walk and shuffle." Mirla and Paula a couple of seasons ago Bados about her generation said: “I was constantly nervous with the successes [Ostapenko, Kasatkina, Vondroushova].

I saw how they achieve the results that everyone expected from me, and it was hard. But I was just not ready for the expectations that fell upon me when I was normal for someone-it was not for me. I needed to show courage, I did it and I am proud of myself. "
