Paula Badosa reportedly aiming for return at Billie Jean King Cup Finals

Spain’s Paula Badosa is set to join her national team Billie Jean King Cup Finals, according to a recent report. The tournament is set to begin on November 07.

The 25-year-old has not featured in any professional tennis for quite some time as she continues her recovery from an injury sustained earlier this year.

However, according to Spanish daily Marca, Badosa is set to join the national team which will be a big boost for the side.

Because of the fitness concern, the Manhattan-born has appeared in just one out of the four Grand Slams this year.

While playing at Wimbledon, Badosa’s journey was cut short as she was forced to retire in the second-round match against Ukraine’s Marta Olehivna Kostyuk.

If the news becomes a reality, it will be a major boost for Badosa and her fans who have been waiting to see the best of her on the court for a long time.

The former world number two will be also hoping that she can regain her fitness and form which can help her win the maiden Grand Slam title.

As of now, Badosa’s best appearance in a major event came in 2021 when she was knocked out of the French Open after losing the quarterfinal to Tamara Zidansek of Czech Republic with a score of 7-5, 4-6, 8-6.
