Paula Badosa will not play again this season. The woman from Begur is ending the course due to a back injury that has been dragging on since the Wimbeldon tournament. The tennis player was supposed to play this Monday in the first round of the US Open against the local player Venus Williams, but the pain has not only kept her from the last Grand Slam of the course, but also leaves her without the final stretch of the season.
The former number 2 in the world has made the decision public in a statement on social networks: “After struggling for many months to compete again, I call my season to an end. Those of you who know me, know how much I like to compete and how difficult it has been to make this decision.” Badosa has not had an easy season. Injuries and lack of continuity have been diminishing his game and morale.

Badosa acknowledges that it was not an easy decision, but that it was necessary to stop: “We tried everything with my team, but the pain did not let me move forward. Thank you to the people who continue to be by my side in these difficult moments. We see you next year, stronger than ever.” The severity of the injury and the recovery will keep the Girona player out of the courts until 2024.
