However, Badosa was last seen in action in the ongoing Strasbourg Open 2025. She crashed out in the quarterfinals after suffering the defeat against Liudmila Samsonova with a scoreline of 4-6, 6-3, 4-6. The star player will now next be seen in action in the French Open 2025, where she will be facing Naomi Osaka in her opening-round match on May 25th.

Paula Badosa is one of the biggest threats to the rest of the WTA stars in Roland Garros, owing to her ability to fight in big matches. Badosa had made it to the semi-finals of the Australian Open 2025 before Aryna Sabalenka defeated her. However, she penned an emotional message on her Instagram story concerning her injury comeback.

“After months on the sidelines, two painful injections, and countless hours of rehab, I’ve made it back. Not just to compete but to fight at the highest level again. What most people don’t see is the frustration, the fear, the silent battles. The doubt that creeps in when your body won’t do what it used to, and you wonder if it ever will again. I didn’t get the win today, but being on a tennis court, I already won. One thing I’ll always guarantee is that I’m gonna fight no matter what,” she wrote.
