Paula Badosa’s career in Stuttgart is over. The Catalan player said goodbye to the tournament after falling this Saturday in the semifinals against Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka 7-6 (5), 6-4 in a battle in which he did not find himself comfortable.
Badosa, who had marathon fights to reach the semifinals and needed medical help in his previous fight, he lacks the physical freshness to defeat a Sabalenka that he has defeated in the two previous clashes of the two.in Cincinnati (USA) and in the finals of Guadalajara (Mexico), both last year.
As consolation, the Spanish player will appear on the next world list, next Monday, as number 2his highest rank ever.
In the first set, both Badosa and Sabalenka fought with equality as their flag. Everyone lost a service turn and everyone was enlightened in the tiebreaker.
In the second set, Sabalenka started to serve and lost the serve, but in the next set she recovered it. At 5-4 and serve Badosa, the Spaniards could do nothing and the Belarusian’s score in the game is blank and it includes the set, the match and the pass in the final.
