"Finally, I am no longer in pain," says Badosa after her match in Strasbourg
Badosa qualified for the quarter-finals of the Strasbourg tournament. Opposed to Bouzkova, she benefited from the latter's retirement at 3 games all to move to the next round. On the court after the match, the Spaniard spoke about her recent retirements as well as her current physical state:
"I am happy to be back after 2 months. It was hard. It was a difficult journey. I am still very far from my level, but I hope I can reach it soon. These past weeks, mentally, it hurt me. Because I think I was playing the best tennis of my life. I was playing very well. Physically, I was feeling very good too. Stopping like that was difficult for me, but finally, I am no longer in pain."
In the next round, she will face the winner of the match between Samsonova and Parry.
