The Credit One Charleston Open first round went well for Paula Badosa. But besides the victory, she also had something else to be happy about.

Other than being a Tennis star, the 28-year-old’s other identity is being no.1 Bad Bunny fan. She may have beaten Kayla Day 6-4, 6-3, but what can be better for a real fan than attending their favourite artist’s concert?

“I have to say, I have tickets for his concert now”, updated Badosa. “I’m a bit jealous because now everyone is a Bad Bunny fan, but they’re not real ones! I was the real one in 2018-2019 when he started. I remember telling people at the time how I love him, and he’s my favourite artist…”

Although “now everyone is a fan”, for Badosa, the 32-year-old Puerto Rican artist and his music mean big. Before a match, when it’s really important to focus, Badosa says, Bad Bunny’s “music is perfect for that.”

His music keeps being “really cool”, bringing “good vibes”, and helping her to get into her zone. So, finally getting the ticket for Bad Bunny’s Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour is a feat in itself, which didn’t come easily.

Paula Badosa’s Viral Plea That Earned Her Bad Bunny’s Concert Tickets

Being the biggest fan doesn’t always ensure the front row in your favourite artist’s concert. And forget the front row, what Badosa had to go through was even worse. But with her priority sorted, the tennis star knew exactly what to do.

“I want to be at the Casita, please. For the concert someday. That’s my dream to be there”, said Badosa on February 13, before immediately addressing the artist directly. “Bad Bunny, I’m already trying to arrange for your concerts, but you’re sold out everywhere.”

But she was going to “try to make it happen” and was looking forward to the concert. And the artist couldn’t just ignore a sincere fan’s plea. It all came together, fell in the right place, and now, Paula will finally be going to that concert.

So, while it's apparent that Badosa will have a good time at Bad Bunny's concert, do you think that her Credit One Charleston Open campaign will also have a happy ending?
