The Spanish player talked about her latest match on social media and shows excitement about facing this upcoming clay court season: "Giving up is not even crossing my mind, but it's a challenging process."
Paula Badosa
The career of Paula Badosa is at a crossroads with a difficult resolution. The physical problems that have prevented the Spanish player from competing normally and regularly have led to her dropping out of the top-100 of the WTA ranking at a critical time. April 6 will be the cutoff date to determine which players will qualify directly for the main draw of Roland Garros 2026. Positioned at world No. 113, the Begur native is in serious danger of having to go through the qualifying rounds if she wants to compete in the second Grand Slam of the year. She has one bullet to improve her ranking and avoid that.

This means that if she doesn't return to the top 100 by April 6, she will have to play the qualifying rounds to be in Paris.

The Spaniard opens up in a letter published on social media after dropping out of the Top 100 again, facing a crucial clay court tour for the future of her career.

It is necessary to assess her physical condition and make decisions for the near future regarding her schedule.

The Spaniard acknowledges at the Miami Open 2026 that she is having a hard time and admits she has to try to change her tennis in order to stay active due to her physical problems.
Paula Badosa comes from such a tough time with injuries that, even though it's just a first-round match, the joy we feel from seeing her win a match is immense. The Spanish player started off on the right foot at this Miami Open 2026, defeating Aliaksandra Sasnovich in two sets (7-5, 6-3), proving that conditions can be tamed in her favor. She will now face a very special duel in the next round against Iva Jovic, an 18-year-old player already in the top 20 who shows great promise as a future international star. A match not to be missed.

Following the complete cancellation of the schedule on Wednesday, March 18 at the Miami Masters 1000 2026, Thursday will feature a tennis marathon with up to 50 matches, including a strong Spanish representation. In the men's draw, Rafael Jódar will play his first-round match against Yannick Hanfmann, as well as Martín Landaluce against Marcos Giron and Roberto Bautista Agut against James Duckworth.
Additionally, in the women's draw, Paula Badosa will also make her debut against Allaksandra Sasnovich, and Carlos Alcaraz will find out his second-round opponent from the match between Joao Fonseca and Fabian Marozsan on the center court. A day not to stray from the TV and hope that the rain doesn't show up.

Strange decision made by the Miami Open 2026 regarding the first day of competition in the men's final draw. The order of play for this Wednesday, March 18, is dedicated to the top part of the draw, where Carlos Alcaraz is placed... but the match between Joao Fonseca and Fabian Marozsan, from which Alcaraz's second-round opponent will emerge, is not listed. The reason?
We can only speculate, but perhaps it has to do with the fact that tomorrow's matches will not be played on the Central Court, where James Blake has indicated that all matches involving the Brazilian will take place due to the massive presence of Brazilian fans, as it is not yet ready for public access due to the recent rains that have besieged Miami. Brazilian or Hungarian players will have to compete on consecutive days; those debuting tomorrow include players like Paula Badosa, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Grigor Dimitrov, Matteo Berrettini, and Roberto Bautista, who completes the Spanish presence with his match against James Duckworth.
