With caution and serenity, Nuria Parrizas (Granada, 1991) has turned the motto of ‘match by match’ into his main philosophy. She grew up with a racket in her hand, which has accompanied her throughout all stages of her life. Although she has also suffered the setback of injuries, which forced her to move away from tennis in several stages. Today she, at 31, is number 76 in the world, fourth among the Spanish, and now she is focusing all her attention on this edition of the Mutua Madrid Open.
“This year I am winning many more good matches and with a higher level than the past,” the tennis player told ABC Daily after beating the Greek Despina Papamichail (7-6 (2) and 6-2). Párrizas is in one of the best chapters of his sports career. Although he denies having any goals at the moment, he is preparing for “the big moment”, which he believes is “very close”.
It is this attitude that has pushed Párrizas to gain a place among the hundred best rackets in the world, something that he considers his greatest achievement to date. In 2021, after having lost in the qualifying phases of the Australian Open, the first Grand Slam of his life, and Roland Garros, managed to lift the titles of Bastad (Sweden) and Columbus (United States), two tournaments of WTA 125 category. “I don’t have a favorite rival,” admits the Granada-born woman, who seeks to play against all of them: “You have to face and win all of them to get through as many rounds as possible.”
The lesions
In 2015, a complicated shoulder injury kept her out of competition; her for seven months she did not catch a racket. However, her love and her passion for this sport did not allow him to give up on her at any time and she came back even stronger and more determined than she was before.
It is not only the numbers that value this athlete, but also many of the colleagues who have accompanied her. “Nuria Párrizas performs at a spectacular level,” said Anabel Medina, the captain of the Spanish team during the qualifying round for the Copa Billie Jean King held in Marbella.
After receiving a scholarship from the Andalusian Federation to train in Seville, Párrizas made his professional debut at the ITF Circuit of Spain before reaching the age of majority, shortly after making another move, this time to Barcelona, to train at the prestigious Spanish-French club.
