"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.
