Badosa: "My shoulder, it's okay. My first time playing against Simona, I think she played very high level. She was getting all the balls. She was aggressive. She was fast. "I don't know what she said, but I think she played perfect.” #MMOPEN
"My shoulder. It's okay" - Badosa plays down injury concers after Halep defeat
WTASunday, 01 May 2022 at 15:45
Paula Badosa did not enjoy hr time against Simona Halep in Madrid yesterday losing in two fairly quick sets 3-6 1-6.
The Spaniard had issues in the match that were unrelated to her tennis which wasn't that great. Serving wasn't particularly good for her and generally, she struggled to find a rhythm. It became apparent that she was dealing with shoulder issues and after the match, she played it down saying it's fine:
""My shoulder, it's okay."
On her opponent she added:
"My first time playing against Simona, I think she played very high level. She was getting all the balls. She was aggressive. She was fast. I don't know what she said, but I think she played perfect.”
Badosa reached the semifinals last year so this defeat will knock off a few points from her overall tally.

- 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
