"I did not wake up feeling well" - Badosa details struggle before Fruhvirtova match
WTATuesday, 29 March 2022 at 15:30
World No.6 Paula Badosa advanced to her first Miami Open quarterfinal on Monday night after defeating 16-year-old wildcard Linda Fruhvirtova, 6-2, 6-3.
Having won the title in Sydney and progressed to the semifinals last week in Indian Wells, Badosa has reached her third quarterfinal of the season. Badosa's previous best result in Miami came last year, where she made the third round. She said:
"Today was a very tough day for me. I didn't wake up feeling very well so I didn't know if I would be able to finish the match. I always say I want to be a fighter no matter what so that's what I did today. I kept fighting and I don't really know how I won. But I'm very happy."
Badosa, who will rise into the Top 3 of the WTA Rankings after Miami, converted five of six break points in the match while saving five of six break points on her own serve. She finished with 19 winners to 17 unforced errors. Fruhvirtova hit 13 winners to 20 unforced errors.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
