Paula Badosa said goodbye to the Miami Open 2024 this Friday. He did this after losing in the second round to his best friend on the circuit, a Aryna Sabalenka who faces his first fight since the death of his former partner.
This is a match, unfortunately, special for both, as will be seen after its conclusion. The Spaniard and the Belarusian embraced emotionally before thunderous applause from the public which filled the track on a very difficult day marked by rain.
Already in the press room, the woman from Begur wanted to show her support to her friend in these delicate moments. “We are both very strong minded women. He has tried. Me too. “We both know how to disconnect in those two hours and separate that at that moment,” she declared before highlighting her rival’s performance.
“I know her well off the track and I’m not surprised at her level today. She is a strong woman, with a strong personality.. I told him I wish him the best. Let’s see if he can go far in this tournament.”
Badosa, number 80 in the world ranking, was also assured this Friday He needs to play as much as possible to grow physically after his physical problems and that she plans to compete in Charleston, Stuttgart and Madrid, after being eliminated in Miami by Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka.
“Because of my injury, I think clay court is going to help me. I will feel better because it is not as difficult because of my injury. I will play as much as possible. I would play Charleston, if I could. Stuttgart, Madrid. I can do all the tournaments. If I can play matches like today, against the best, having that rhythm will be great,” Badosa said at the press conference after losing her match 6-4, 6-3 against Sabalenka.
