Paula Badosa calms the tennis world after her photos in the hospital

Paula Badosa has had to address the concern raised among her followers after posting several photographs from a hospital. The Spaniard, who is going through a season filled with ups and downs, explained that she underwent a minor procedure that she had needed for some time and decided to take advantage of this period without competition to recover properly.

The images had drawn particular attention because Badosa appeared wearing a hospital gown, lying on a stretcher, and with an IV in her arm. The tennis player also shared photographs with her friends and some more relaxed scenes during her stay, which initially generated uncertainty among her followers regarding the possibility of it being another physical issue.

The Catalan herself took care of clarifying the situation through her social media. "If you're wondering about the photos from yesterday, I had to undergo a minor procedure that I had been dragging on for some time, and I needed to stop to recover properly," Badosa explained, choosing not to go into details about the nature of the procedure. The Spanish player's message was, in any case, reassuring. Badosa assured that she has already started training again and that her plans to return to competition during the North American tour remain unchanged.

"I have slowly resumed training and I am very eager to compete again. See you very soon in the United States," she added. Badosa's last competitive appearance was at the Hamburg tournament, where she reached the quarter-finals before losing to Egyptian Mayar Sherif. A few days prior, she had also faced the same rival in Iasi, although she had to withdraw due to physical problems.

The Spaniard had regained prominence during this part of the season after winning Bastad and reaching the final in Iasi. Now, with this procedure behind her, her focus is back on the court. Badosa is preparing for her return in the United States with her sights set on the US Open, the last Grand Slam of the season.
