Badosa’s problems are mounting in Indian Wells

These times are hard for Paula Badosa. The wild card of Indian Wells did not work for her, the WTA 1000 tournament she won in 2021, which became the semifinals in 2022. In her third participation she did not go beyond the third round, she collided with the Kazakh Elena Rybakina by 6-3 and 7-5 in 1h.35′ of play on the center court. The day before they rowed in the same direction as double partners, losing.

Badosa, 25 years old and number 22, suffered his third loss in the last four matches, the ones played since he had to give up the Australian Open due to injury. Between the physical problems and the lack of those achievements that morally strengthen anyone, the Girona woman failed to fly.

I have a champion in front of me Wimbledon and recent finalist for australia tomorrowa Rybakina, 23 years old and nº 10, which happens to be the deadliest ‘gunboat’ today. She has honed her ease of serving to surpass her average of eight per game with 9 ‘aces’ this season.

instead, ladybug he tripped on a double fault, up to seven. Two almost consecutive reasons why he lost a 4-2 advantage in the second set. The former kept it up even until they suffered an 0-4 run from the ever-unpredictable Rybakinaan irrepressible cyclothymic tennis player when everything goes his way but prone to crises between moments of splendor.

Rybakina is in an upward trend, while Badosa blames the lack of extra confidence given by the dominant parties. It was his fetish tournament, he had beaten the Kazakh four out of five times, but he had not been comfortable in recent months.

He was getting closer, competing with tough opponents, but important points eluded him, those that fell to his side when he rose to second place in the world. He ended his phase in Jorge Garciais in his box who is his representative in Europe, the British Joel Canell. Look for solutions that have not yet arrived.

And everything gets complicated, as well as the draws because she continues to drop in the WTA ranking, where she temporarily loses seven places at the moment, down to the 29th position.

Badosa will continue this trial starting next week in Miami. won the Nuria Parrizashis first win since January, but fell to Elena Rybakina. Without a prize, it’s harder to persevere, although you have no choice but to grit your teeth and pursue a change of pace. An important challenge. He has his talent, to go through more compromising situations.
