"Every win counts, not important how long the match is" - Badosa shares some wisdom after win
WTAWednesday, 25 May 2022 at 12:30
Paula Badosa is one of the favourites to win Roland Garros and she opened her event with a win over Ferro in less than 60 minutes.
That quick victory was a talking point after the match with Badosa explaining she doesn't care how long the match goes on if she gets the victory:
"For me, it's not important for me to win with 50 minutes or three hours. Every minute on court counts, and every win counts, and it helps you build your confidence again. I think that's the key of my match today."
She further said:
"I think her game helped me, as well, because I could play quite a long rally, so I could feel myself there. I'm happy that nobody noticed how nervous I was on court ... I'm
happy that I managed the nerves pretty well. At the beginning I was very
nervous, to be honest. I was moving a little bit slow, and I needed a
few games to get used to all the situation, but I'm happy that I managed
that very well."

- A lot of top players with injuries now. Could be a coincidence. Still we have a lot of big tournaments in 4/5 months.
AceOfBase06-05-2024 - Iga never gets an easy draw in any tournament she plays. So that statement is far from the truth. Sabalenka has difficulty because all she wants to do is stand up and serve. She is not a tennis player. If she gets the opponents Iga have, she would be ousted earlier.crissy06-05-2024
