Tennis player Paula Badosa<\/a> has apologised after posting a photo appearing to mimic a Chinese face while having dinner in Beijing.<\/p>\n

The image was posted on Instagram by Badosa\u2019s coach, Pol Toledo Bague, and shows the Spanish player pulling a face while holding chopsticks to her eyes.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Badosa, the world No 15 who peaked at No 2 in the rankings in 2022, initially denied she was \u201cimitating Asian people\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was playing with my face and wrinkles,\u201d Badosa responded, after accusations of racism on social media. \u201cI love Asia and have plenty of Asian friends. They are the kindest.\u201d<\/p>\n

But the image was deleted and she later apologised on X, writing: \u201cReally sorry didn\u2019t know this was offensive towards racism. My mistake. I take full responsibility. This mistake will make me learn for next time.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Badosa had been having dinner after a strong run in the Beijing Open in which she reached the semi-finals, where she lost to eventual winner Coco Gauff<\/a>.<\/p>\n

She later withdrew from the Wuhan Open citing gastroenteritis, giving her Australian opponent Ajla Tomljanovic a free pass to the second round. Badosa is due to play another tournament in China, the Ningbo Open, next week.<\/p>\n

British No 1 Katie Boulter lost her first-round match at the Wuhan Open to Ukraine\u2019s Lesia Tsurenko, going down 6-2, 7-5.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
