Tennis professional, Paula Badosa shocked her fans with her decision to make a return to the tennis court this year at the upcoming ITF event which will be hosted by the player’s home country, Spain. The 2023 edition of the Billie Jean King Cup will be held in the city of Seville in Spain from the 7th to the 12th of November.

Former World No.2, Paula Badosa suffered a fracture in her back in the quarter-finals of the Italian Open in May this year. Following a recovery period of a few months, the Spaniard made her appearance at Wimbledon. However, in her second-round match against Ukrainian tennis professional, Marta Kostyuk, Badosa retired mid-way as her back injury woes worsened. The player also withdrew from the US Open in Flushing Meadows as well as the WTA Major event in Canada prior to that.
