Paula Badosa withdraws from French Open due to spine injury
New Delhi, May 25: Former world No.2 Paula Badosa on Thursday announced her withdrawal from this year's French Open due to a stress fracture in her spine, which she sustained at the Italian Open last week.
"Just when everything seemed to be fine again, I received bad news just before starting a Grand Slam. At the tournament in Rome I suffered a stress fracture in my spine," the Spaniard said in a statement.
"It has been very hard news after such a difficult start of the season with injuries. This is going to keep me out of competition for some weeks," she added.
The 25-year-old also missed the Australian Open in January after suffering an abductor injury during her grueling Adelaide International 2 quarterfinal against Beatriz Haddad Maia.
The French Open men's and women's singles draws will take place on Thursday with the main draw starting on Sunday.
