Paula Badosa He opened the program and settled his qualification for the quarterfinals of the US Open at noon. Fourth Spaniard to reach this round, after Arantxa Sánchez, who became champion, Conchita Martínez, who reached the semifinals and Carla Suárez, who did not go beyond that round, with which the Catalan already had a negative experience at Roland Garros 2021.
But the Begur sweet, everything is going for it. He defeated the Chinese Yafan Wang 6-1 and 6-2, and he dedicated himself to waiting to see what his opponent would be on Tuesday in New York. In the certainty that he will become an American.
Not what everyone expected. No, the reigning champion took the crown in the round of 16. Coco Gauff, 20 years old and No. 3, suffered a tough test against one of the tennis revelations of the season, Emma Navarro, 23 years old and 12th in the ranking.
Gauff committed 19 double faults! 60 unforced errors!. By these numbers, her defeat against whoever she has already executed in the round of 16 at Wimbledon makes sense, an Emma Navarro who qualified by winning 6-3, 4-6 and 6-3 in 2h .12′.
On Tuesday, Paula Badosa-Emma Navarro. For the semi-finals of the US Open. On the clay court in Rome in May, the Spaniard won 1-6, 6-4, 6-2. Duel between tennis players born in New York, although now under different nationalities.
Navarro, from a millionaire family, continues his good season. Recently, semi-finalist in Toronto and Monterrey. It was difficult for him to manage his nerves in the second set, where he already had a 4-3 victory on serve, but lost four games in a row.
In his two previous participations in the US Open he had not gone beyond the opening round, he did not know the victory in his home Grand Slam until this edition. Aim for the top-10.
