One of the fastest-improving players in women's tennis this season, Bardoza's world rankings rose from 71st at the start of the season to 8th and won the most weighty title of his career at Indian Wells. In a recent interview with Eurosport, she expressed her desire to achieve better results at Grand Slams in the new season. Her current best record in a Grand Slam tournament is this year's French Open Quarterfinals.

'I've always given my all in training because my goal is to get to the deepest round of major events and Grand Slams.' Bardoza said in the interview, "My goal now is to go to Australia and win as many matches as possible. ”

Bardoza had to quarantine at the hotel for up to two weeks last year because she was on the same flight as the confirmed person at the Australian Open last year, saying: "My experience at the Australian Open last year was really bad, I hope I can look at this matter with a more optimistic attitude, but the experience at that time was really difficult. But now that I'm coming to Australia with a whole new look and my rankings have changed, I hope that helps me and builds my confidence. ”

Bardoza, currently ranked eighth in the world, will be one of the big seeded players at the Australian Open, and the Spanish player says he will have to face the pressure of a high ranking: "You've stepped into the spotlight and now everyone wants to be able to beat you, your opponents will be more relaxed when they face you, and you yourself will feel that you deserve to win the game, which is very difficult, but this is a very normal phenomenon in tennis. When you're ranked 70th in the world, you're doing your best to hit the top, and when you're successfully at the top, you're going to continue to do your best to keep yourself at that level. ”

Bardoza's first race of the 2022 season will be the WTA250 Adelaide, which will kick off on 3 January, with the world's top three Barty, Sabalenka and Mugurazza all competing.

"When I see the squad, my first impression is that the squad is very strong." "The top players are all here because they all want to be able to start the season in the best shape.' If you miss an event, it feels like you're missing a lot of opportunities, so we have to be prepared because we have no choice but to do that. I chose to participate in this event because it allows me to find the rhythm of the game as soon as possible, to find the competitive state again, and to better prepare for the Grand Slam. ”
