Badosa pulls out of US Open as injury woes continue
Gulf Today
|August 10, 2025
Spain's Paula Badosa, ranked 12th in the world, has withdrawn from the US Open, tournament officials announced on Friday.
-
The 27-year-old Spaniard, who has battled back issues similar to those that kept her from the 2023 US Open, will miss the Flushing Meadows fortnight for the second time in three seasons after making a US Open last-eight run in 2024.
Badosa, who reached her first Grand Slam semi final at this year’s Australian Open, has not played since losing to Britain's Katie Boulter in the first round at Wimbledon.
Badosa had been set to pair with Britain's Jack Draper in mixed doubles as well as compete in women's singles.
In an instagram message posted Friday, Badosa recounted her struggles without saying she would drop out of the US Open.
"I wasn't built by easy days. I was shaped by the moments that broke me, the choices that didn’t go as planned and the times I fell short of who I wanted to be," Badosa recalled on social media.
