Paula Badosa Withdraws From 2025 US Open

Persistent psoas muscle damage since her Berlin retirement continues to derail her season, underpinning her withdrawal.

Overview

  • Badosa announced on August 9 that she will not compete in singles or mixed doubles alongside Jack Draper.
  • She described the decision as emotionally difficult given her birthplace and quarterfinal run at last year’s tournament.
  • The injury first emerged when she retired from the Berlin quarterfinals with a torn psoas muscle.
  • She attempted to play at Wimbledon but fell in the first round as the injury failed to improve.
  • Withdrawals from Washington, Montreal and Cincinnati have seen her drop to world No. 16 and jeopardize her ability to defend points from 2024.
