Paula Badosa is far from having the best feelings and will need time to regain her best form and play with freedom and ease, without the evident fear of experiencing problems again in her ailing back. The Spaniard suffered a defeat at the WTA 500 Abu Dhabi 2026, falling to Aliaksandra Sasnovich by 6-4 3-6 6-1. Also, Cristina Bucsa bids farewell in the early stages of the Emirati tournament, succumbing to Sonya Kartal by 6-3 7-6 (8).
