Badosa, positive before her debut in Australia: "My body has responded very well"
Paula Badosa faces 2026 with hope that this year, her injuries will be respected. It was at the Australian Open last year where she completed a comeback that began in July 2024, reaching the semifinals and returning to the Top-10. However, since then, the rest of 2025 was a real nightmare due to her troubled back.
Therefore, at the beginning of this season, she is feeling positive: "Physically, my body has responded very well, I've had a very long preseason, I've been competing now for a few matches and it has responded well, so the feedback is positive. Obviously, I am monitoring my physical condition every day because I have suffered a lot with injuries and it is something I would like to prevent this year, and hopefully, it will be so. What I need this year are many matches and hours on the court," stated the Catalan in an interview with Eurosport.
