the Spanish tennis player Paula Badosa recognized this Monday at Toronto Canada) In questions from Efe that the controversy over his statements about the Catalan has affected him a lot and that he is a very emotional person who tries to stay away from social networks.
Badosa, who arrived in Toronto on Monday to perform at the Canadian Masters, told Efe’s questions at a press conference that “this week has been very complicated, because something so small has become so big.”
The number 4 tennis player in the world refers to statements made for the magazine of the British tennis federation in which he said that he does not count Catalan, one of the languages he speaks, as a language.
Badosa later apologized and said it was a misunderstanding.
“I am a person who, I am not going to deny it, things affect me a lot. I am a very emotional person. You see me on the court too; I am quite as you see me when I play, very passionate, I transmit many emotions. It’s never easy for me,” he explained to Efe.
The tennis player, who last week reached the semifinals in San José (USA) to defeat the Russian Daria Kasatkina, who finally won the American tournament on Sunday, added that because of his mental health he is trying stay on social networks.
“Obviously what I try to do is let go of it, talk about it a lot with the people close to me who help me. And then find my little moments. Honestly, I also said this year, I try not to go to social media a lot because it’s something that hurts me and harms me,” she said.
In these situations, Badosa said he tries to disconnect and do things like any normal person, like going to the movies, going out or meditating.
“I do meditation. And obviously I have a psychologist who helps me to better cope with those moments,” he concluded.
Looking ahead to the Canadian Masters, Badosa said that this Monday he will spend the next few days adapting to the Canadian tournament since this is the first time he has competed in Toronto.
“The first days may cost me a little more but I hope to play a few games to feel really good,” he said.
Badosa is set to begin her participation in Toronto on Wednesday against the winner of the match between Canada’s Katherine Sebov and Kazakh Yulia Putintseva.
