Half of the tennis power couple who had us all dreaming about s3x, Spanish tennis star Paula Badosa, is now single and s3xy and wants everyone to know it.

The former No. 2 ranked player in the world celebrated her 28th birthday this weekend. Her cake says she’s “Older, Wiser And Hotter Than Ever.”

Badosa, a noted bikini dancer, had a few more messages to get across this weekend and chose to do so with the underrated power of the sash.

She’s “28 And Still A 10” and, more importantly to those who like throwing up half-court shots with women out of their league, she’s also “S3xy & Single.”

Sashes, it turns out, are good for more than pageants and identifying the bachelorette when the bachelorette party hits the town for one last ride. They’re good for inviting a flood of DMs.

When You’re “28 and Still a 10,” You Celebrate Like It

You celebrate your birthday how you want to and Paula Badosa, with the help of her friends, will fire off message after message through cakes and sashes.

Then she’ll settle in with some drinks and bikinis. Those DMs aren’t going to get sorted out by themselves.

She’s going to have to see if her birthday announcements, among the filth that will surely arrive, produced a possible match.

Maybe another athlete or celebrity stepped up to sweep her off her feet. You know that’s what her friends are hoping for. They want someone who she can have more s3x dreams about. They want the romance of it all.

A cake, a couple of sashes, and bikinis, and then poof there’s Mr. Right showing up with an armful of flowers. She’s ready to get back out there, and I think that’s something we can all root for.

This is just the beginning though. Badosa’s going to have a busy few weeks ahead of her, making her way through the overconfidence that is now knocking on her door.
