Former world No. 2 says recent setback not related to back injury she suffered last season.
There’s a silver lining in the injury cloud over Paula Badosa.
Former world No. 2 Badosa said the injury she suffered that forced her to retire from her Huan Hin second-rounder vs. Diana Shnaider is not related to the back injury that sidelined her for much of the second half of the 2023 season.
“Good news all in all, I haven’t relapsed the injury fortunately,” Badosa posted on social media. “I’m going to work with my team now 24/7 to get the inflammation down as soon as possible so I can compete soon. Thanks for all the messages š«¶ We are still strugglingā¦”>
Buenos noticias dentro de todo, no he recaĆdo en la lesiĆ³n afortunadamente. Voy a trabajar con mi equipo ahora 24/7 para bajar la inflamaciĆ³n lo antes posible y poder competir pronto. Gracias por todos los mensajes š«¶
Seguimos luchandoā¦
