Tennis player Paula Badosa withdraws from US Open 2025, citing need for health attention
Paula Badosa Withdraws from US Open 2022 due to Recurring Back Injury
Spanish tennis star Paula Badosa has announced her withdrawal from the upcoming US Open 2022, citing a persistent lower back injury as the reason for her absence. This decision comes after a string of missed tournaments, including Wimbledon and the BNP Paribas Open, due to the same injury[1][2][3][4][5].
Badosa, currently ranked 12th in the WTA, has had a remarkable career, particularly at the US Open. Last year, she made it to the quarterfinals, marking her best performance at a Grand Slam tournament[1][2][3]. Earlier in 2022, she reached the semifinals at the Australian Open[1].
However, her recent health struggles have taken a toll on her performance. Besides the recurring back injury, Badosa has also dealt with a right thigh injury in 2023, which kept her out of Wimbledon that year[3].
In a statement made on her social media channels, Badosa expressed the difficulty of her decision, emphasizing the need to focus on her health and recovery. She also expressed her intention to return stronger[7].
Jil Teichmann, ranked 83rd in the world, will replace Badosa in the US Open 2022[6]. Badosa's first-round loss at Wimbledon was against British player Katie Boulter[1].
Despite her current setbacks, Badosa has a special connection with the city of New York, where she has had some of her most memorable performances. Her fans and supporters will be eagerly waiting for her return to the court.
