Badosa started its biggest challenge today in delicate conditions

Date:

Paula BadosaThe 24 -year -old and world number 4, will start today, Tuesday, perhaps the biggest challenge of his career since he entered the elite and combined himself with it after going through hell that came from unfulfilled expectations after becoming junior champion at Roland Garros, his most promising tournament since visiting as a kid and dominating the U-18.

She faces a French woman who will have central support Philippe Chattier, fiona ferro25 years old and 130th WTA, whose best results included his presence in the 2020 round of 16.

The Girona woman recalled “I had a thorn” when she remembered her defeat in the quarterfinals of the 2021 edition. This meant improvement in the round of 16 of 2020, his debut in the main draw after failing to pass the qualifying phase of 2019, but he left convinced that I could have done more against the Slovenian Tamara Zidansek.

He came back with more experience in meetings, like that one, that made a difference. Although he also returns with a new vertigo that is one of the opponents to be defeated, targeted by the vigilance of his colleagues as well as the fans and media. It’s in the spotlight, with a useful side, because it’s a symbol of being on top, although it also implies a load of responsibility that you know how to pay on your shoulders.

“I have to find the balance, that the pressure situation does not overcome me. The last two weeks I have felt a bit of saturation, I have not know how to manage my nerves. I sank. I have to prepare myself so that the the motivation and the desire allow me to let go of excess pressure.

the champion of Indian Wells 2021his confirmation, opened this season covered the Sydney WTA 500 and reaches the eighth of Australian Open, his best result in Melbourne. However, on clay he did not do as well as when he chain the semifinals in Madrid and the crown in Belgrade, just last year. In the Spanish capital it did not exceed the second game, against Simona Halepor in Rome, against Daria Kasatkina.

A slowdown that doesn’t help Paris, where his teammates from the top-10 of the WTA rankings fall victim to the pressure and also the equality that prevails on the circuit.

Of the top six who entered the competition in the first two days, four said goodbye: the champion and number 2, the Czech Barbora Krejcikova, the Estonian Anett Kontaveit (5), the Tunisian Ons Jabeur (6), champion in Madrid and finalist in Rome, and the Spanish Garbiñe Muguruza, number 10 and queen of Roland Garros in 2006.

Polish did not fail Iga Swiatek, who has won 29 consecutive games, has dominated the five previous tournaments played and already knows how to win at Roland Garros. He did so in 2020, the edition was postponed to October due to the coronavirus.

Greek also avoided the favorites debacle in the opening round Maria Sakkari.

On the third day of the competition was Paula Badosa, third seed, her Belarusian friend Aryna Sabalenka (7)the Czech Karolina Pliskova (8) and the American Danielle Collins (9).

Badosa is the last card of Spanish women’s tennis at this Roland Garros. Garbiñe Muguruza bears fruit, Nuria Parrizas and the ‘worthy’ Cristina Bucca, not present due to rib injury Sarah Sorribes.
