It's great that you're back! That famous expression is what has sparked the competitive comeback at a high level of Paula Badosa in recent weeks. After overcoming critical situations that even jeopardized her continuity in tennis, the Spaniard feels powerful and full of confidence again after her two major wins at WTA 1000 Cincinnati 2024, with the possibility of adding more.

Hitting rock bottom to emerge with unusual strength. That's what Paula Badosa has achieved in recent months. Alarms went off months ago when the tennis player born in New York, once world number 2, revealed just before playing in Madrid that some doctors had told her that her continuation as a professional tennis player would be impossible due to her chronic back injury. She could barely string together two consecutive matches, the pains were recurring, and there seemed to be no solution. But the landscape is completely different now, with the Spanish player being a major player in the WTA 1000 Cincinnati 2024.

She opted out of competing in the Olympic event to focus entirely on a hard court tour that has been going better than expected. With 9 victories in 10 matches, including the title in Washington as a boost, both in confidence and in the WTA rankings. After reaching the quarterfinals of the Ohio tournament with wins over Stearns, Kalinskaya, and Putintseva, the Spanish player has earned a seed at the US Open 2024, only a few months after having to use protected ranking to compete in major events.

This stands as clear evidence of her perseverance. If something characterizes Paula Badosa, it is how her tennis improves when she is free from physical problems and finds that desired continuity, which enhances both her physical condition and mental readiness for the battle. Quick on her feet, with sublime tactical intelligence, and capable of defending efficiently without losing her controlled aggressiveness, the player from Begur glides across the court and confirms on tennis.com that her back is in good shape, having not needed any cortisone injections since Roland Garros, which was the prescribed treatment by doctors for her back.

She aims to extend her dream at the WTA 1000 Cincinnati 2024, where she will face Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in the quarterfinals. If she wins, she would cement her return to the top 30 globally and continue to build her confidence for the US Open 2024, where no one will want to cross her path given the high level of play she is demonstrating. "You'll have to see me around for a few more years," she commented with a smile a few days ago, dispelling all retirement shadows that loomed over her in the early stages of this year. Tennis is celebrating the return of Paula Badosa to the spotlight.
