Paula Badosaeliminated in the first round of the tournament Madrid for his countrymen Jessica Bouzas (2-6, 6-3 and 6-3)was very disappointed and pointed out that this time he could not blame his physical condition, but his level of play.
“It’s a complicated fight, He played very well and obviously I didn’t.“he said in a press conference.
“I was disappointed. I came from where I came from, but I expected more. I can’t ask for much either,” said Badosa, affected in the last eleven months by a chronic back injury.
“Now my tennis level has affected me. Physically it is what it is, but my tennis level is very low“said the former world number two, very low in spirit.
“I always look at the positive side and I have no choice but to continue training and think about the next tournaments,” he added.
Asked if he was “falling out of love” with tennis, Badosa said that was the main question.
“I really like tennis, I like to compete, but I don’t like how I see myself. “I’ve always had very high expectations, I’ve lived what it’s like to be at the top and now it’s so hard to see myself at the bottom,” he said.
“Every week there is disappointment, now because of the level of tennis”, said. “I have trouble getting up. The level of tennis is there, but I have to recover a bit emotionally.”
