Demasiado me parece aun estar en el top100 sin competir durante 10 meses. Y por ultimo por favor pon una foto mia en la portada… Lamentable
Paula Badosa hits back after criticism of leaving top 100 after Charleston Open, calls publication 'regrettable'
WTAThursday, 04 April 2024 at 22:00
Paula Badosa defended herself after criticism for her first-round loss at the WTA 500 Charleston Open to Danielle Collins by 6-1, 6-4. The former world No. 2 responded on social media to a post from a Spanish outlet mentioning that she is close to dropping out of the top 100.
The former Indian Wells champion had a forgettable 2023 after suffering an injury following the Italian Open in May, which forced her to withdraw from the French Open. Upon her return at Wimbledon a month later, she played her last match of the year before retiring mid-match against Marta Kostyuk in the second round.

Injuries have continued to trouble the Spanish player this year, as she currently holds a record of 5-7 in 2024. Badosa retired mid-match in the first round of the WTA 1000 Dubai Open in February and then couldn't participate in Indian Wells.
The Spanish outlet "Deportes Cuatro" shared a news article from El Desmarque reporting Badosa's defeat against Collins and the possibility of dropping out of the top 100: "Paula Badosa does not raise her head: she falls decisively in Charleston and flirts with leaving the 'top 100'," the outlet wrote.

Paula Badosa saw the post and responded with a tweet expressing her frustration: "It seems too much to me to still be in the top 100 without competing for 10 months. And finally, please put a photo of me on the cover… Regrettable," Badosa replied.
The 26-year-old Spaniard has dropped to world No. 90 in the live rankings and will likely fall out of the top 100 in the coming weeks since she won't be participating in the Stuttgart Open, where she reached the quarterfinals last year. Her return will only be at the Madrid Open, and she is projected to have 577 points by that time, which will place her around No. 130.
