Paula Badosa’s great start to the season is blurred due to injuries. Again. The Spanish tennis player, who reached the third round at the Australian Open, withdrew from the Thailand Open this Wednesday due to physical problems, during the second round of the tournament against the Russian Diana Schnaider.
Badosa lost the first set 2-6 and suffered discomfort in his back, when he dominated the second set 4-1. Schnaider took advantage of this, who in the first round had eliminated the Polish Magda Linette (n.56), who was the great favorite of the tournament, to shorten it to 4-3 and equal the break of the serve that had previously been endorsed by the Spanish born in NY.
Previously, the first set had been dominated by Schnaider, who scored it after two breaks of Badosa’s serve (fifth and seventh games). The tournament organization later detailed in a publication through its official account on the social network Instagram that the injury occurred in the lower back and took the opportunity to wish the Spaniard a speedy recovery.
In this way, Badosa once again suffers problems in an area, his back, which he injured last May in Rome when he suffered a stress fracture of the L4 vertebra. This forced him to stop competing from August until this month of January.
