Paula Badosa He left Wimbledon 2023 injured. A stress fracture in a lumbar vertebra rebelled against his attempt to reappear after several weeks off the slopes. He did not play again that season. This is the first step towards a test that he now tries to manage through rehabilitation and an injection from time to time because the problem has taken on the aspects of a chronic disease.
This time he returned to the All England Club cautiously, with his fingers crossed that his back would hold. And he took a double revenge, in the very situation of competing again at Wimbledon and also defeating one of his executioners in previous editions.
The Spaniard, 26 years old and world number 93, eliminated the Czech Karolina Muchova27 years old and number 34, ni 6-3 and 6-2 in 1h.21′ meeting He protected his serve throughout the match, returning all six break points. He knows how to suffer to take another step in his operation to recover the world ranking, which caused him to set aside the Paris 2024 Olympic Games because they don’t give points and he doesn’t want to burn one of the two possibilities he has left to enter a tournament by using the protected rank after the injury.
Badass He proved his dominance in a marathon game of 30 points, almost 19 minutes. He saved his serve to take a 3-1 lead in the second set. Muchova, who returned after a long injury, lost hope.
The Czech had to stop after being a finalist at Roland Garros and a semifinalist at the US Open in the 2023 campaign, a wrist operation in February. He returned to the Eastbourne grass, a few days ago, and the event did not end.
Two suffering head-to-head, Badosa is in a better situation, avenging a loss in the round of 16 of Wimbledon 2021 against the Central European.
In the second round, a promising young woman, who is not what he expected. Russian Mirra Andreeva, Spanish student Conchita Martínez and recent Roland Garros semi-finalist, was surpassed by a player her age (17 years old), the Czech Brenda Fruhvirtovaby 1-6, 6-3 and 6-2.
