26 minutes is enough for Paula Badosa26 years old and world No. 29, will send a serious warning to all his teammates at the US Open 2024. A resounding 6-0, huge tennis. Perfect. He won 24 points, leaving only half, 12, of his rival, the Swiss Viktorija Golubic, 31 years old and number 73.
Maintaining that success rate is crazy, but it keeps the bar high beyond the reach of most. The Catalan, who was accidentally born in New York for the work of his parents, shone in the city where he was born like several times.
In his fifth appearance at the US Open, after being removed from last year due to a serious back injury, in a lumbar vertebra, and the second round of 2021 and 2022 as a weak background for his qualities, finally the best Badass exposing their weapons in the Grandstand of the Billie Jean King Tennis Center.
Badosa won Golubic 6-0 and 6-3 in one hour and nine minutes. An exhibition, in line with what was done this summer. The WTA 500 champion in Washington and semifinalist at the WTA 1000 in Cincinnati has won 11 of her 13 matches on the North American tour.
He is approaching the version of world No. 2 that he had shown earlier. On the strength of having a bad time due to injury, of being out of the top-100 a few months ago. It enhanced his love for tennis, his competitive nature. Get over yourself, because of an injury that never ceases to be a threat.
He is full of confidence, and it showed in his surprising debut at the US Open 2024. His path will continue against the American Taylor Townsend or the Italian Martina Trevisan. Tennis is big in Badosa these days. You can dream. His best result in a Grand Slam was the quarterfinals Roland Garros 2021.
Step by step, as in this mighty month of August. Although victories like this, complete, permeate the locker room. And those leading them can see him. He finished the day with an ace, his fourth. Only one thing, the seven double faults, three almost in a row caused the second set to be ‘broken’. Although he fought them with integrity.
He solved it, believe him. He has arguments for this. He kicked Golubic, who lost his seventh straight in the opening round of the US Open. It is far from the current Badass.
