Spain’s tennis star Paula Badosa has started practicing ahead
of the Billie Jean King Cup Finals.
The 25-year-old is currently spending time on the sidelines as
she continues her recovery from a back injury.
In a video that appeared on social media platform X — previously
known as Twitter — Badosa can be seen training on the court without having a back
brace.
The news will be a great one for her fans who have been
waiting for a long time to see her return to action.
It was because of her back injury, Badosa did not feature in
three out of four Grand Slams in 2023.
Her only appearance in a mega-event this year was at
Wimbledon where she was forced to retire in the second round.
The Manhattan-born will be hoping that the forced rest in
the recent past will improve her record at the highest level in big events.
Despite playing in the main round of the Grand Slams 15 times
in her career, Badosa has only managed to play once in the quarterfinal or
beyond any big competition.
It was back in 2021
when she played in the quarterfinal of the French Open and lost to Slovenia’s Tamara
Zidansek with a score of 7-5, 4-6, 8-6.

- From Day One, legalizing Sports Betting was never going to end well (for The Sport... not the thousands who lose their livelihoods and bank accounts). We're not even close to the end of the damage this is causing.

- Sabalenka seems so unhappy. When you get angry after every mistake you make on court, you’ve got some issues sweetie! She also does seem to be “partying” a lot if you follow her social media (I don’t lolol). Very immature personality.DaveyWavey03-09-2026
- The main difference for bigger names like Alcaraz, Sinner, Zverez, etc. is that they usually make it to the later stages of tournaments while 99% of the other players win a round or two and then move on to the next tournament. The bigger names are playing more, playing longer and therefore more injury issues. The money is great but it all comes with a price!DaveyWavey03-09-2026
