“Well played her, badly played me. I’ve made a lot of mistakes. Nobody likes being in that situation, being eighth from Wimbledon on the center court and lasting just an hour without being able to deploy my game. I’m just like in ‘ “I’ve tried to be more aggressive than in Madrid and I’ve failed more. The last thing I want is to play against her again. I feel like it,” Badosa told a news conference with Halep in just one hour of play.

With this result, Badosa’s top in the Grands continues to be the quarterfinals he achieved last season at Roland Garros.

On expectations, Badosa spoke that the balance, despite the result at Wimbledon, should be positive.

“It’s my first year as a top ten, it should be positive, but I feel a lot of the demand from the people behind it.
