Paula Badosa was hoping to make her return at the Canadian Open, but the Spaniard pulled out just one day ahead of her round-one match.
Paula Badosa has been dealing with a lot of injury heartbreak in the past few months, missing almost two months of action before her return at Wimbledon. It was a short one, as she retired in her second match due to a back injury. She provided an update leading up to the WTA 1000 event in Montreal, but there were no certainties that she was going to play.
The injury is still persisting and forced her to abandon plans of playing at the Canadian Open. It's another unfortunate development for the Spaniard who was set to play Beatriz Haddad Maia in the opening round. That was a really fun matchup but we won't get to see it now. After the withdrawal, Badosa provided a small update on her condition.
Small update: Still trying my best to comeback as soon as possible but pain is still there. I'm going to be some weeks out of the competition. [It has been a hard time] but hopefully I can comeback soon. Thanks for support.
The injury is a very tricky one to navigate because, seemingly every time Badosa gets healthy enough to play, she experiences a setback that basically proves that she's not ready for a comeback yet. It's very unfortunate, especially during such a crucial month of August with so many great tournaments coming up.
It's unlikely that she'll push herself too hard with the US Open but these recent developments aren't really promising for the Spaniard and her chances to play at the US Open. For now, fans will have to wait and see whether she shows up at the Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati.
