Paula Badosa once again proved her good start to the year. After winning the only game they played in the last United Cup, the Catalan defeated Anett Kontaveit (6-4, 6-3) on Tuesday in his debut at the Adelaide 2 tournament.

The former world number 2 played a very complete match and was very solid, especially on his serve. One break was enough to close the first set (6-4) against an opponent who could not stop the power of the Spaniard’s blows.
The second set started the best way for Badosa, with a tear in the opening game seemingly putting the match back on track for good. At 2-0 came Kontaveit’s reaction, chaining three games in a row to get ahead for the first time and put the Girona girl in trouble.
But Badosa was not surprised and came back to regain his best version to score the last four games in a row and close out the game with a final score of 6-4, 6-3.
Another Estonian Kaia Kanepi will be her rival this Wednesday (about 07 a.m. Spanish peninsular time) for a place in the quarterfinals.
