Paula Badosa He has not raced since last February 19 in Dubai, when he had to leave the track because back pain prevented him from competing.
She was unable to return to the WTA 1000 in Indian Wells, one of her favorite tournaments as it was where she achieved her greatest success, winning the title in 2021.
He will try it today in Miami, although the draw was explosive for him. He had to play the morbid match, because he was paired with the Romanian Simona Halep unprecedented since the 2022 US Open, returned as the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) reduced his punishment for a positive doping test (roxadustat) from four years to nine months.
The former world No. 1 and champion of two Grand Slam titles, Wimbledon 2018 and Roland Garros 2019, has already served that punishment, and Miami has given him an invitation to appear in the draw.
If Badosa survives a back injury and a more than motivated Halep, in the second round she will meet one of the favorites for the title, her very good friend the Belarusian. Aryna Sabalenka.
