Just as good or similar. I hope that from now on there is a new Paula, a new Paula who is now playing against the best in the world\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hope it\u2019s a turning point. I hope to keep growing like this, to keep having good tournaments like this and to keep playing against the best in the world every week and that will be the challenge, to keep improving as a player. I think I\u2019ve played great tennis\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A nostalgic\u00a0adios.<\/strong> \u201cI admit that it\u2019s difficult for me, I\u2019m not good at losing. Little by little I\u2019m improving. It makes me feel kind of sad, even more so when it\u2019s at home. It was such an amazing week so when it ends you feel a little sad and melancholic\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Her coach\u2019s advice before the match.<\/strong> \u201cI always speak with my coach before the match and he tried to tell me that there are always chances in every match, whether it\u2019s the number one or 100. He told me to try and enjoy the moment, to try and give everything I have. It\u2019s clear that I was a little tired and he told me to give everything on court so that I had no regrets at the end\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Barty, a great opponent.<\/strong> \u201cShe played very well. She\u2019s a player that really makes things difficult for you and if you\u2019re not 100% physically and mentally, it\u2019s difficult. And maybe I wasn\u2019t so comfortable, but that\u2019s to her credit\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Javier Mart\u00ed, her talisman.<\/strong> \u201cHe brings so much to the table. He\u2019s a very intelligent person. At the end of the day, women\u2019s tennis is very emotional and you have to know when to say one thing or another. We have a very good connection, he makes me work very hard. I think he\u2019s a very good coach based on my results. Since we started, my tennis and my attitude have changed completely. It\u2019s clear that it is the player who has to make the change, but without someone behind you to help or without people around you to push you and set you on the right path, it\u2019s almost impossible for a player to do that on their own\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>New best ranking.<\/strong> \u201cIt\u2019s always important to move up. I\u2019m happy to be among the top 50. My goal is to keep improving every day and hopefully I\u2019m in the late rounds of a lot of tournaments and I frequently have the problem of losing to the world number one. It will mean that I\u2019m in the final rounds and I\u2019m playing against the best in the world\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy goal is to be among the best in the world, but in the end I think that\u2019s a consequence of a job well done. Of course, I want more\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paula Badosa has left the Mutua Madrid Open after the best result of her career.
