Heartbroken! Bardosa revealed that he has the idea of retiring and is currently relying on injections to maintain his tennis career

Just this week, Spanish beauty Badosa revealed the brutal truth in an interview that her body is experiencing an irreversible chronic damage, which may force her to retire early.

The Spanish beauty is ranked second in the world at the highest level, and has also won the Indian Wells women's singles championship. However, Bardosa suffered a serious back injury ahead of this year's North American Sunshine Doubles, which forced her to withdraw from tournament after stop, and she recently revealed her injury status in an interview.

Badosa mentioned in the interview that he originally thought 2025 would be a glorious year, but now it is difficult to even sleep and walk. She admits that if she says she is in perfect shape or 100% recovered, she must be lying. Although he is now recovering, this may be the most difficult rehabilitation process he has ever experienced, because this injury is different from the past. She admits that it was really hard to get her back on the back burner because her daily life was now affected: the pain was constant, and it was difficult for her to sleep and walk. After several injections, the first time the results were not satisfactory, but the second time the condition improved. Still, the repeated injuries still make her feel scared every day when she wakes up, however, she said, the feedback is positive so far.

Badosa mentioned in the interview that although the injury is very serious, he does not want to retire at the moment, "at least now I can train, my fitness is gradually recovering, and the pain is getting less." I tried my best to adjust and try to relax, although I still had to keep in touch with the medical team. ”

The Spaniard admits that she has now accepted the fact that she knows she will retire at a very young age and go straight to the operating room the next day. "It's a permanent chronic injury," she said. The problem was that this time it was different, the pain on my right side was manageable, but now it flares up and touches my nerves. It's like the hernia has moved, and I can endure it to play, the problem is that it touched my nerves. Now I can't even live a normal life. I wake up every day with fear. I'm not kidding you, I'm going to have to text the doctor at 5am this week because I can't sleep, I'm not sure if my back will be okay today, if I'll be able to live a normal life. Mentally, that's what hurts me the most. ”

In this regard, some netizens can't help but sigh that injuries are really the biggest enemy of athletes, "I feel sorry for her, I remember that she comforted Zhang Shuai last year and said that she hoped that Zhang Shuai would not retire, but now she is facing a situation where she may have to retire, which is really sad." For a professional tennis player, there are some things that you can't control, and a lot of times, you may be forced to move forward. ”

However, some netizens believe that the Spanish beauty's words are not credible and exaggerated, "She also said the same thing last year, and before the start of the North American hard court season last year, her statement was even more intense, and even made people feel that she would retire in the next second, but after the final counterattack, she still did not retire." It's hard to say, maybe she's just in the fear of being treated for an injury right now, and when things get better, maybe something else will happen. Therefore, I don't think she will retire at all because of this, it sounds unreal! ”

However, for professional tennis players, there are so many who have to retire due to injury, which is reminiscent of the news of Naomi Osaka's WTA 125 victory in Saint Malo, France, yesterday, and it's hard to imagine that former Grand Slam champion and world number one Naomi Osaka would come to a 125k tournament with dignity, but in the end, she won the title for the first time on clay. In fact, like Bardosa, since the start of last year's China Open, Naomi Osaka has suffered frequent back injuries and retired in key matches again and again, and now has to start finding form from low-level events, but this is a fact that athletes must face. The long road back can only be achieved through perseverance, and those fighters who fought with injuries are interpreting their love for the sport in their own way.(Source: Tennis Home Author: Lu Xiaotian)
