MADRID, 1 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Spanish tennis player Paula Badosa has been forced to retire this morning during her match against the Australian Daria Saville in the quarterfinals of the Mérida Tournament (Mexico), of the WTA 500 category and disputed on a hard track, because of a back injury.
The Catalan, number 11 in the world, the first set against oceanic (6-1) had been awarded with solvency, after materializing three breaks for only one of its rival, but the problems began to ballast him in the second manga.
It was after the fifth game, in which Saville’s service had precisely broken, when he began to suffer. Badosa lost the next three games, in the middle of which he asked for a medical time, before definitely leaving the encounter with 5-3 for the Australian in that partial.
