Paula Badosa faces challenging conditions at the US Open

Paula Badosa’s Tough Match at the US Open

The US Open is known for its brutal conditions, which Spanish player Paula Badosa had to deal with during her third-round match. Coming from a country with a hot and dry climate, Badosa struggled with the high humidity at the tournament, especially when the organizers closed the roof.

Despite her difficulties with the conditions, Badosa managed to win her match against Yafan Wang easily, with a score of 6-1, 6-2. She played aggressively and was very happy with her performance, even though she admitted to feeling like she was going to “die” on the court due to the extreme heat and humidity.

Humidity Issues at the US Open

During Badosa’s match, the humidity reached 85%, a common occurrence in New York. Previous matches have also been affected by high humidity, causing distress to players like Andrey Rublev and Daniil Medvedev. Despite the event organizers’ efforts to mitigate the heat with fans, the closed roof intensified the humidity on the court.

Badosa’s Victory and Reflections

Badosa’s win secured her a spot in the US Open quarter-finals, marking her best result in a Grand Slam since 2021. After considering quitting the sport earlier in the year due to self-doubt and injuries, Badosa is now grateful for her success and the opportunity to compete at the highest level.

She reflected on her journey, acknowledging the challenges she faced and emphasizing the importance of hard work and perseverance in achieving her dreams.
