Paula Badosa26 years old and world No. 36, is impressing on the North American hard court tour leading up to the US Open, which begins in New York on August 26. Champion at the WTA 500 in Washington, she rested in the second round of the WTA 1000 in Toronto and is back on the attack at the WTA 1000 in Cincinnati.
The Catalan reached the round of 16 with a resounding victory. In one hour and four minutes he knocked out the Russian Anna Kalinskaya25 years old and world number 15, 6-3 and 6-2 This was the third victory against a top-15 player since Wimbledon. The next step remains, beat a top-10.
I have to wait, because there is no American crossing Coco Gauff, No. 2 and current tournament champion. Who should also defend the US Open crown remains in crisis. I had to deal with the ever-complex Kazakh Yulia Putintsevawho sprung a surprise by winning 6-4, 2-6 and 6-4, coming back from 2-4 down in the third set.
Badosa won her first encounter with Kalinskaya, under the spotlight for her sporting progression, which this year has included finals in Dubai and Berlin, as well as the quarterfinals of the Australian Open. She has also been the center of attention since her romantic relationship with ATP No. 1, the Italian. Jannik Sinner. Paula herself knows a lot about this, because of the impact of her Greek association. Stefanos Tsitsipas.
in court, Paula Badosa He is looking for the TKO with determination. And he is always looking for it. The serve helps a lot, when he’s feeling good he holds the groundstroke with great authority. He looks like No. 2 Indian Wells champion tennis players.
If the back does not bother, the game is at an interesting level for Badosa, eager to continue testing himself, to measure the strength with the current top players. He wanted to be with them sooner rather than later.
This Friday, duel with Yulia Putintseva, 29 years old and number 34, which he has lost three times out of four times, and the one he lost was due to withdrawal due to injury. In its most recent history, Badosa won 4-6, 6-1 and 7-5 in the last Roland Garros.
