Paula Badosa is one player who has not been seen performing at the potential tennis fans imagined for her. After she rose to rank 2 in 2022, the tennis world believed they had another Spanish great on their hands. However, since then, Badosa has been on a steady decline. Continuous bouts with injuries have derailed her recent form, with another instance throwing her off tracks.

After she reached the quarterfinal of the 2023 Italian Open in May, the third round in the Australian Open was her best result in a Masters or slam. Dealing with back-to-back injuries, she shared a cryptic message on her social media.

As per current information, she retired due to a lower back injury.

Dashing her hopes of returning to her level of tennis, Badosa found pain in more than her lower back. On her ‘X’ page, she shared a simple, “❤️‍🩹“, possibly signifying heartbreak due to another withdrawal.

While Badosa is suffering from injuries, she is not on her own. Her boyfriend, Stefanos Tsitsipas is with her to accompany her recovery and ensure she can step up to the challenge of reaching the top once again, but uncertainty continues.

Badosa’s bout with injuries began early in 2023. However, a stress fracture in the L4 vertebra before the French Open sidelined her for 2-3 months. She would return to Wimbledon but withdrew from the tournament in round 2. It would be followed by an absence in the US Open and the rest of the season as well.
