Paula Badosaeighth in the WTA ranking, announced this Thursday that he has been sick for several days and that’s why she retired against Belarusian Victoria Azarenka in the Master 1,000 in Guadalajara.
“I’m so sorry I didn’t make it, but I’ve been sick for a few days. I tried to recover in every way and it was not possible. I’m sad to leave because I’m looking forward to competing here in Guadalajara, where I have great memories,” said the Catalan, who retired after losing the first set 6-2.
Azarenka, former world number one, only needed 30 minutes to defeat Badosa. He showed 93 percent of first serve points won against an unresponsive opponent, committed eight unforced errors and lacked serving effectiveness.
‘Vika’ made a break in the second and fourth games to set the pace of the match against an opponent who hid his physical discomfort well, although he looked uncomfortable, trading his corner in a not-so-smooth manner.
in loss, Paula Badosa sees the possibility of qualifying for the WTA Finalswhich marks the end of the 2022 season, which has been a mixed bag for him.
“I must learn from this person’s experience, difficult, difficult, which I hope will be before and after my career. I have to manage the pressure. I have room for improvement and I hope to improve myself to become number one,” the tennis player confessed to Efe a few hours ago.
In the round of 16, Azarenka will face American Madison Keysa 3-6, 6-4, 6-3 winner over Australia’s Alja Tomljanovic.
The 1,000th Guadalajara Master takes place on a hard court with a prize pool of 2,585,422 euros/2,527,250 dollars. The event will be the last major event before the WTA Finals, which will bring together the eight best tennis players in the world in Fort Worth between October 31 and November 7.
