Paula Badosa

Quick Quotes

Q. How are you feeling, and can you please explain the reason that you've withdrawn?

PAULA BADOSA: Yeah, I'm really disappointed that I had to withdraw today because I was really looking forward for the match. Yesterday when I was playing against bee it was a very tough match, especially physical, so I felt a little bit in my abductor. I felt like I pulled it a little bit.

Today I feel a little bit worse, so yeah, I have Australian Open ahead, and I hope I can recover for that.

Q. How are you feeling with your tennis prior to this injury?

PAULA BADOSA: Very good. I think I was playing very good tennis, high level. Mentally I was feeling very well, as well. I played really good three matches. I think that helps me, as well, on my confidence for the tournaments ahead.

Now it's something that I cannot control, so it is what it is.

Q. Can you share a little more on your thoughts on your time here in Adelaide and looking ahead to the rest of the season and the Australian Open?

I'm happy about my level. I'm happy with the way that I started the year, and I'm really looking forward for the rest of it.
