Bad news for Spanish tennis at Roland Garros. Paula Badosa, Spain’s main racket in the women’s draw, will miss the tournament due to a fractured vertebra that she suffered in the tournament in Rome. The Spaniard was injured in her second round match against Tunisian Ons Jabeur, which did not prevent her from continuing in the tournament, where she progressed to the quarterfinals. However, after some tests carried out the week before the start of Roland Garros, Badosa will have to stop for several weeks to be able to return to competition.
«When everything seemed to be fine again, bad news again just before starting a Grand Slam. At the tournament in Rome I suffered a stress fracture in my spine. It has been very hard news after such a difficult start to the year with injuries. This is going to keep me out of competition for a few weeks, “explained the Spanish on social networks.
The problem in the column not only separates him from Roland Garros, which begins on May 28, but also jeopardizes his participation in Wimbledon, which starts on July 3, that is, in just five weeks.
This setback repeats the ghosts of the Australian Open, where he injured his right thigh days after making his debut. In addition, he slows down his progression, having returned to the top 30 with the quarterfinals in Rome. Badosa will lose 130 points from the third round last year in Paris and fortunately he would not give up anything at Wimbledon, since last year, when he made the round of 16 at the All England Club, the London Grand Slam did not distribute points due to sanctions against Russians and Belarusians.
Without Badosa, there will be four Spaniards in the women’s draw; Sara Sorribes, Nuria Parrizas, Cristina Bucsa and Rebeka Masarova. In the men’s draw there will be seven Spaniards, with Carlos Alcaraz as number one in the world and the main candidate for the title.
