Paula Badosa says she struggled with expenses before she broke into the top 100 because she was doing it alone

Paula Badosa says she struggled with expenses before she broke into the top 100 because she was doing it alone:

“I know how tough it is to be a professional tennis player & how expensive it is. It’s not for everyone. I come from a very humble family. 

“I have always been very independent. I never wanted them to help me. When I was 15, I started to deal with my own financial part & started to learn from it as well. I was struggling with expenses, I was doing it on my own. 

“I didn’t want them to carry that weight on their shoulders. Those first years before I broke into the top 100, I was stressed & worried about it because I was doing it by myself.”
