BARCELONA, 11 Apr. (SportsFinding) –
Spanish tennis player Paula Badosa will not play the Billie Jean King Cup playoff tie against the Netherlands next Friday due to “physical and medical problems,” the player explained on social media on Monday.
“Advised by my medical team, and due to physical problems and
doctors with whom I have had to compete in recent weeks, I will be dropped from the call for the BJK Cup”, published Badosa, who will encourage her companions “from a distance” with the desire to compete “side by side” with them in the next call.
The Catalan, current number three in the world, admitted that it was not an easy decision. “Anyone who knows me knows how complicated it is for me not to be in a competition, and this one made me especially excited,” she lamented.
Thus, Spain loses one of its great strengths for the Billie Jean King Cup tie, which will be added to Garbiñe Muguruza’s loss, also due to injury. The match will be played at the covered clay court ‘Maaspoort Sports & Events’ in s-Hertogenbosch.
