Paula Badosa has been eliminated from the Australian Open. The Spaniard, who reached the semifinals of this same tournament last year, did not experience the same success this time.<\/p>\n

Defeated by Oksana Selekhmeteva in the second round (6-4, 6-4), the world No. 26 will fall out of the top 60 after the tournament. The former world No. 2 discussed her loss in a press conference.<\/p>\n

“My Body Is Reacting Well, That’s Good News”<\/p>\n

“I’m obviously not happy. I think she certainly deserves credit, but I also think I did what was necessary to earn this defeat. I didn’t play very well, I’m having a bit of trouble feeling like myself, but I suppose that’s part of the process.<\/p>\n

I’m physically fine, my body is reacting well, that’s good news. Ultimately, after everything that’s happened, that’s the most important thing, so I have to stick with that. Now, I need to string together several matches in a row to feel like myself again as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n

“The Season Has Just Started, My Hopes Are Intact”<\/p>\n

Obviously, the season has just started, my hopes are intact. I’m keeping the same goals. For now, I’m far from achieving them. When I’m competing, I still feel far from the desired level.<\/p>\n

In training, I feel better, that’s true, so I hope to be able to translate that into matches soon. I need several months, unfortunately this isn’t the first time this has happened to me, I’ve been in this situation before.<\/p>\n

It’s something I know perfectly well, I know what I have to go through,” Badosa assured the media, according to statements collected by Punto de Break.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Paula Badosa Crashes Out in Australian Open Second Round to Oksana Selekhmeteva, Drops Out of Top 60 \u00a9…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":425549,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[442],"tags":[49,48,82,593],"class_list":["post-425548","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports","tag-tennis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/425548","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=425548"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/425548\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/425549"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=425548"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=425548"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=425548"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
