"I play tennis sometimes": Paula Badosa updates fans as road to 2024 comeback continues
WTAMonday, 23 October 2023 at 07:30
Spain’s tennis star Paula Badosa has hinted that she is
still very optimistic about returning to action on the court.
The 25-year-old has been out of action for quite some time
as she continues to recover from a back injury sustained earlier this year. It
was because of this reasons she ended up missing three out of four Grand Slams.
Badosa recently shared a picture on her official account on social media platform X where she expressed optimism about returning to court with a caption: "I
play tennis sometimes…"
The former world number two appeared at Wimbledon this year
where she had to retire from the second-round clash against Ukraine’s Marta
Olehivna Kostyuk.
The post will give Badosa’s fans much-needed hope of seeing their
favorite player in action very soon.
The New York-born will be hoping that the ongoing break will
also help is strategising about how she can go further in the mega-events.
Despite playing in the main round of the Grand Slams 15 times,
Badosa has only managed to qualify in the quarterfinal or beyond just one.
Her most impressive outing
came in the French Open 2021 where she was knocked out of the competition after
losing to Tamara Zidansek in the quarterfinal with a score of 7-5, 4-6, 8-6.

- This financial 'chump-change' means nothing to Saba. Her vacuity likely cannot fathom the "problem" with her unprofessional actions and reactions in general. The racquet smash is not my focus. My focus was/is on her distasteful, totally unprofessional, disgusting facial expressions and eye-rolls while standing behind Elena as she spoke on the podium. This woman needs a degree of therapy for her True Attitude(s). She is not fooling anyone within the WTA circles with her post-match winner "humor" and smiley behavior. Her True Self comes out when losing a set/match and as a runner-up on the podium.

- WTA has been unfairly ignoring Elena ever since Wimbledon. Arguably biased against her. Same with the most major sponsors whom normally pounce on the Wimbledon Winners for sponsorship. Didn't happen. Her unfair treatment was always in Lena's subconcious; how she was largely ignored after Wimbledon. Her sister helped her a lot during that period. Next came illnesses and minor injury. A lot of time was lost, and physical (mental?) issues were frequent, as she fought through the absurdiy and general nonsense brought-on by her coach/partner. He was a Loser then, he's a Loser still. Although he has lowered his attitude, volume, and non-stop yapping from the box since he wore the organizations out with his non-stop legal letters begging for mercy and ultimately fully reinstated. Rybakina deserves all the accolades others have enjoyed and more for her strength and will to succeed. Hope it continues.mandoist15-09-2026
- Ball bouncing is not that extreme but... ...they can eliminate the time-wasting walks back & forth to the Towel Bin between serves!!! That's just plain ridiculous to see some of them take minimum 30 seconds between every serve to shuffle over to their towel bin, dab their face, or wipe their handle. "Toweling-off" is an obvious time waster.mandoist15-09-2026
- Raducan'tdo and the media's love affair with her may be due to her looks. Since she does nothing for tennis, what else is going on with the 'love'?? She is best at maintaining a "presence" via anti-Social Media and maintaining her sponsorships.mandoist14-09-2026
