<\/p>\nPaula Badosa is back in action for the first time since her opening-round loss at the 2025 Wimbledon Championships.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, Badosa had to withdraw from the US Open due to a lingering back injury. It was a crushing blow for the former No. 2 player in the world, especially since she reached the quarterfinals in New York during the 2024 season.<\/p>\n

“It is with a heavy heart that I am announcing my withdrawal from this year’s U.S. Open,” Badosa wrote on social media. “This decision was incredibly difficult to make. After the amazing run I had in\u00a0New York\u00a0last year and the deep connection I feel with the city and its fans, stepping away from this tournament is very emotional for me. The U.S. Open has always meant a great deal to me, and I have created some of my most special memories there.”<\/p>\n
