Overview
- Tournament officials announced that Badosa will miss both the women’s singles draw and her mixed doubles pairing with Jack Draper at the U.S. Open due to persistent lower-back pain.
- Switzerland’s Jil Teichmann replaces her in the main draw while France’s Alize Cornet ascends to the first alternate spot in the singles bracket.
- Her withdrawal stems from a chronic L4/L5 vertebral stress fracture sustained at the 2023 Italian Open that has repeatedly interrupted her season.
- Badosa has not competed since her first-round Wimbledon exit and withdrew from the North American hard-court swing, including Washington, Montreal and Cincinnati.
- In an Instagram post she reflected that “failure taught me what success never could,” underscoring the resilience she has forged through setbacks.
