Excited about a new season that comes under very different conditions from what happened a year ago, Paula Badosa opens up during the WTA Adelaide 2025 Media Day. The Spanish player talks about what the injury has taught her, what changed in her to return to the top, and how she is currently approaching the Australian tour.

"I feel good, especially because when I was here last year, one of my goals was to make a strong comeback in the circuit. It wasn't easy because many good players were returning. Starting the season one way and ending up almost in the top ten was incredible, a great year. I am eager to continue on this good path. Let's see what 2025 has in store for me," the Spanish player said in a press conference.

How important is it to maintain a positive dynamic?

"It's very important. I believe that when you gain that confidence, when things start to work... I have always felt that I am a player who works very hard, but there are moments when perhaps mentally, the drive isn't there, and you don't believe as much as you should in that moment. That's what gradually happened in Rome. I started to believe a little more that I was capable of coming back, that I was capable of being one of the best players in the world. When that clicks in my mind, when I start to believe in myself, that's when I become one of the best players in the world."

Is there something positive you can learn from injuries?

"I'll be very honest. The truth is, not when you're injured, because it's tough. In my case, I love tennis, so perhaps if I were another player in a different situation, I could say that maybe it's somewhat positive to go out and disconnect a bit because it's very intense. In my case, I missed it a lot. I also followed tennis as a fan. I was very eager to come back. That's why I was very excited to return last year. If I have to say something positive, I think last year there were moments where I appreciated being on a court, on a central court.

I remember that when I was playing, I would look up and say to myself, 'These people come to see you, they enjoy watching you.' This is something that maybe I didn't value a long time ago in my career, before my injury. Those little things, those small details, I appreciate them more after the injury. Perhaps I learned to have a little more patience and to wait for my moment. The injury taught me that."
