The former World No.2 vowed to make a strong comeback and claimed she is resilient enough to stand the tough time.

"I wasn't built by easy days. I was shaped by the moments that broke me, the choices that didn't go as planned, and the times I fell short of who I wanted to be. My setbacks weren't signs that I was weak; they were necessary chapters in a story that's still being written," Badosa wrote.

She added that failures have taught her a lot, humbled her, made her look inward, ask hard questions, and rebuild with a better clarity. She added that every mistake has helped her improve as a player. While she feared about failures once, Badosa regarded them as her greatest teachers.

"Failure taught me what success never could. It humbled me. It forced me to look inward, to ask hard questions, to rebuild with more intention and clarity. Every mistake I made sharpened my understanding of who I am and who I'm not. And while I once feared those mistakes, I now see them as some of my greatest teachers," Badosa added.

"There were times I thought I'd lost everything, my direction, my confidence, my sense of worth. But looking back, I realize I was only losing what no longer served me. Every loss gave space for growth. Every closed door redirected me toward a better one," Badosa added.

"I'm not proud of every moment in my past, but I am proud of the person those moments created. The human I am today is more resilient, more aware, and more grounded because of everything I've survived and learned. I don't run from failure anymore. I respect it because it's the reason I stand here Stronger, wiser, and still becoming," Badosa concluded.
