Proud to Return: Badosa Reflects on her Billie Jean King Cup Match in 2025

The 20th-ranked Spanish tennis player, Paula Badosa, shared her feelings following the Billie Jean King Cup 2025 match where Spain faced Ukraine. Badosa played against Elina Svitolina and lost with a score of 7-5, 2-6, 5-7. The Spanish team ended up losing the tie with a score of 0-2.

«The truth is that returning to this level after so many months away from competition is something I am extremely proud of. Of course, it’s disappointing that we lost as a team, but regarding my match, it was an excellent contest where both of us gave our all. In the end, that’s what truly matters.

I probably didn’t expect to reach this level in my very first match back, but it gives me confidence and positive feelings going into the upcoming tournaments,» Badosa told Punto De Break.

Paula Badosa has not participated in any tennis tournaments since Wimbledon 2025, where she was defeated in the first round by British player Katie Boulter with a score of 2-6, 6-3, 4-6.
