"I've never been more excited to come back to start the year": Paula Badosa declares herself injury free as comeback begins in Adelaide
WTASunday, 07 January 2024 at 11:30
Spain’s tennis star Paula Badosa has declared herself injury-free and has announced that she is set to return to the court at the Adelaide International.
The 26-year-old missed the majority of the season in 2023 after
suffering a back injury. It was because of this reason, she ended up missing
three out of the four Grand Slams last season.
Badosa was recently quoted in a report where she stated that
she is now injury-free and will make her much-awaited at the Adelaide
International.
"I've never been more excited to come back to start the
year," she said. "I want to
get back to that level as soon as possible. I know it's going to be tough at
the beginning. It's been a lot of months that I didn't play.
"It's an injury that you don't have much under your
control, because at the beginning I thought, oh, I do more hours of treatment,
I do more hours of this or that and I'm going to heal faster. Then I learned
that just having patience, try to let it heal on its own.
"But honestly it's a very slow -- I was going to say a
bad word -- but yeah, very slow process. It was a very tough process,
especially mentally for me to accept all this."As I always say, I love to
play tennis. I love to compete.
"So all of a sudden one day I had to stop completely
and started to have like a normal life -- not even a normal life. I had to stay
on the couch. so imagine how boring was that."
Badosa, who has won three WTA titles in her career and became
world number two in April 2022, will not have to play in the qualifying round
and she will play a player who will book her place in the main round from the qualifiers.

- He's a Cool Dude (and very funny guy). Always fun to be in the presence of Tomasz. Something he mentioned here is what many who have coached at any level can relate to -- "the crazy parents committee". It relates to my coaching experiences in kid's sports. My #1 complaint about coaching kids is Problem Parents!! It can be a very abusive, even violent situation with many parents when it comes to their kid's sports. In the end, it was no longer worth the potential (all too common) altercations for me and I quit. But thanks to Tomasz, I now have a name for those (you?) people: The Crazy Parents Committee.mandoist26-09-2024
- She's no longer a tennis player; apparently it wasn't a priority. So why the publicity?mandoist26-09-2024
- Yes, the Ginger is right... 'you don't have to play'. And we are realizing the results of how players are affected by non-stop scheduling. Everything Iga first mentioned 2 years ago is now coming to fruition as far too many top WTA players cannot maintain their well-being. Therfor having to blow-off several tourneys. It's common sense -- the human body is not a machine! WTA's GREED and insensitivity is no joke.mandoist26-09-2024
