Paula Badosa, 26 years old, he continued his journey on the Asian tour. After the WTA 1000 in Beijing, without stopping, the WTA 1000 in Wuhan. The Spaniard maintains his upward line, in terms of playing and ranking, where he is already in the fifteenth position, when a few months ago he was still outside the top-100.
So far this season she is the eleventh best player, three places behind the cut-off for access to the WTA Finals, the last Masters. It’s a long shot, but a good result in Wuhan could be a springboard to a starting position or replacement in case of any injury losses.
In Wuhan there are not even Polish people Iga Swiatek (no. 1), who did not attend any Asian tournament due to personal problems (including the dismissal of the coach), or the Kazakh Elena Rybakinainjured.
Badass her title takeoff began at the WTA 500 in Washington, continuing to the ‘semi’ of the 1000 in Cincinnati, the quarterfinals of the US Open and the recent ‘semi’ of the 1000 in Beijing, which she lost to Coco Gauff when in her hands access to the final. He had the balls to go 4-1 and serve in the second set, after winning the first with great solvency.
The one from Begur will be looking for a fifth final, and crown, in Wuhan. Once the draw is made, the road will not be easy, as befits an event of this category. It will open against the Australian Ajla Tomljanovic. I will continue against the Chinese Winyu Wang or the American Caro Dolehide. In the round of 16, reunion with Jessica Pegulawhom he beat in Beijing. The quarterfinal match is with the Czech Barbora Krejcikova, with a semifinal against the Chinese Qinwen Zheng or the Italian Jasmine Paolini.
The Belarusian will wait in the final Aryna Sabalenkachasing the No. 1 by Swiatek, or the American Coco Gauff, the champion of Beijing.
