What was an open secret has been confirmed: Paula Badosa will not play at the WTA Mérida 2026 after suffering an injury to her left thigh during her match at the WTA 1000 in Dubai against Elina Svitolina. The tennis player herself confirmed it through her social networks: "I am very sorry to announce that I will not be able to be in Mérida playing this year. I was really looking forward to playing in front of you all. Mexico always feels like my second home. Now I have to recover well and come back as soon as possible. Thank you all for the support," concluded the Catalan player.
