Qualified for the semi-finals of the Australian Open, Paula Badosa was “close to stopping” her career

Will having finally reached the final four help you to be more liberated?
I will never feel free until I win the tournament. I am like that, I always have been, it’s my character. Today, of course, I probably had a little less expectations, but there was still pressure because I wanted to win so much. When I enter the court in the semi-finals, no matter who I play against, I will have this same desire. She is part of me. When I reach the final rounds of a tournament, my level goes up. I want to leave everything on the court.
