Paula Badosa Withdraws from US Open Due to Injury
Spanish tennis player Paula Badosa, who reached the world’s top 10, withdraws from the US Open due to a back injury that has kept her off the courts since her defeat in the first round of Wimbledon on June 30.
The United States Tennis Association (USTA) confirmed Badosa’s withdrawal and announced that Jil Teichmann will take her place in the tournament. If another player withdraws, Alizé Cornet, who had retired from tennis in 2024 but returned this year, would be next in line to enter the main draw at Flushing Meadows.
The start of the tournament is scheduled for August 24th.
Badosa, 27 years old, reached her best ranking in 2022, reaching number 2 in the world. She is currently ranked number 12.
In January, Badosa reached the semifinals of the Australian Open. Her best performance at the US Open was reaching the quarterfinals last year.
