Paula Badosa is going through a critical moment, but that doesn't mean she will give up. The Spanish tennis player was defeated in the second round of the Miami Open 2026 by Iva Jovic (6-2, 6-1) and drops out of the Top 100 (113), as it happened a couple of weeks ago. Whether it's injuries or her game, in such a competitive and demanding circuit, tennis waits for no one.

Now begins a clay court tour where the goal is to return to the Top 100 before April 6th, the deadline for the final draw of Roland Garros. If not achieved, she would be forced to play the always competitive and challenging qualifying rounds of the Parisian Grand Slam. However, she only needs to defend a few points (160) until Paris.

Facing this situation, the Catalan has decided to open up through a letter she has posted on the Instagram social network. In it, she makes it clear that no matter how adverse the situation is and that she is not at her best tennis and mental moment, she will not give up.

This is the letter that Paula Badosa has written on her social media

“Fear, fucking fear. How damn hard it is. Sometimes I feel like I can't control the voices inside me. Emotions are too many, and I feel overwhelmed. Doubts take hold of me, and I feel lost in a sea of emotions. There are days when I feel I have enough strength, and others when the mountain is too big... and I wonder if I'll be able to do it”.

“I suppose I will. Because if there's something that defines me, it's that I always rise again. Turn the pain into power, right? Why should this time be different? There's something I'm sure of: I'll always try with all my might. I'll do whatever it takes”.

“I know I'm far from my best version, but I also know that version is still inside me. I won't be remembered for winning the most titles, but I want to be remembered for this. For these moments. For showing that Paula was able to come out. And that child going through a tough time thinks of me and says, "if she could, I can too".

“That's why I'm still here. Because once again I'm going to prove that I can come out. It'll be very tough, but I promise to continue until I achieve it. And even if things aren't going well now, and there are a thousand opinions... I'll keep going. And I'll continue”

“And to my fans: thank you. Because many times, you are the strength I lack. Hearing you in the matches, with that enthusiasm when I can't even, is the most valuable thing this sport has given me,” declares Paula Badosa, who, true to her style, will not stop fighting.
