Paula Badosawho lost this Monday along with Simona Halep in the eighth of Wimbledonrequested that they lower the requests to him, assured not Rafael Nadal neither is it and that in Spain people are accustomed to the successes of tennis players.

“He played well, I didn’t play well. I made a lot of mistakes. Nobody wants to be in this situation, being in the second round of Wimbledon in the middle and only lasting an hour without showing my game. I’m ‘I’m in’ shock ‘more than you. I tried to be more aggressive than Madrid and I failed more. The last thing I want is to play with him again. I’ll get the urge, “Badosa explained in a press conference after falling to Halep in just one hour of the game.

“You all know what I’ve been through in my life. The most I have is the strength of mind. I never thought that was my weakness. My weakness is experience. Playing more with players like Simona Halep, I learn to win when I don’t play well “said Paula.

With this result, Badosa’s top Grand Slam continues to be the quarterfinals he achieved last season. Roland Garros.

“I don’t know what is missing (to improve in the Majors). I won Indian Wells, which is like a Grand Slam, but in a Grand Slam my maximum is the quarters. It’s great, but I want more. There may be a lot missing or there may be a lack, I don’t know. “

Regarding expectations, Badosa mentioned the fact that the balance, despite today’s events, should be positive.

“It’s my first year as a top ten, it should be positive, but I feel very much the demand of the people behind it. You’re second week and now the question is why didn’t you win and when you lost in the first week the question why not go in the second week. I’m not Rafa Nadal and I won’t be. We’re used to Spain. I hope one day I can do something like him, but I want it to be a bit less demanding, “he assured.
