Badosa and Krejcikova withdraw from Stuttgart tournament
Affected by a back injury again during the Miami tournament, Paula Badosa will have to wait before playing on clay.
The world No. 9 has indeed withdrawn from the WTA 500 in Stuttgart, which will take place from April 14 to 21.
She is not the only one to announce her withdrawal today, as Barbora Krejcikova, also suffering from a back injury, continues to delay the start of her 2025 season. The Czech player has not competed since the WTA Finals last November.
These back-to-back withdrawals allow Ons Jabeur and Marta Kostyuk to enter the main draw directly. As a reminder, seven Top 10 players (Sabalenka, Swiatek, Gauff, Pegula, Paolini, Andreeva, and Zheng) are expected at the German tournament.
