The Spaniard, currently ranked No. 12, has not played competitively since her first-round defeat to Britain\u2019s Katie Boulter at Wimbledon on June 30. The U.S. Tennis Association confirmed on Friday that Switzerland\u2019s Jil Teichmann will replace Badosa in the main draw. France\u2019s Aliz\u00e9 Cornet will be the next eligible player should another withdrawal occur before the tournament begins.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In an emotional statement shared on social media, the 27-year-old expressed her deep disappointment at missing the year\u2019s final major.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIt is with a heavy heart that I am announcing my withdrawal from this year\u2019s U.S. Open,\u201d Badosa said. \u201cThis decision was incredibly difficult to make. After the amazing run I had in New York last year and the deep connection I felt with the city and the fans, stepping away from this tournament is very emotional for me.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The U.S. Open has always meant a great deal to me and I have created some of my most special memories there.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Badosa\u2019s 2024 run to the quarterfinals marked her best showing at the U.S. Open, cementing her as one of the most dangerous players on the WTA Tour. Earlier this season, she enjoyed a career highlight by reaching the Australian Open semifinals, her deepest Grand Slam run.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
