Victim of a stress fracture in his lower back at the WTA 1000 in Rome in 2023 and mentally weakened, Badosa went through months of doubt, with a series of withdrawals, withdrawals and defeats, to the point of imagining ending his career. In Melbourne, his perseverance was rewarded. Imperial on serve in the first set (only four points lost behind her first ball, no break point to defend), she was able to put Gauff under pressure on the return.
