This week at the ecotrans Ladies Open in Berlin, Aryna Sabalenka and Ons Jabeur put their friendship with Paula Badosa to the test in the hopes of finally answering the burning question: Who is truly Badosa's bestie?
If you haven't been following the interpersonal dynamics between the trio, here's a primer to get you caught up. Badosa and Sabalenka have long been each other's "soulmates" on tour, but this season, Jabeur has been front-and-center in their friendship. In Rome, Sabalenka dubbed Jabeur her "bestie," while Jabeur joked that she was something of a "psychologist" between the two.
"I love both, obviously," Jabeur said. "I think Aryna and Paula have the connection of the fashion: 'I wore this, I wore that, I bought this new purse,' and I go to the real thing. 'What do you need? Let's go have dinner!'"
The WTA 500 grass-court event decided to wade into the debate by asking Jabeur and Sabalenka questions about Badosa's favorite things, form her favorite food and her favorite sport (besides tennis) to her biggest pet peeve.
