It’s been a while since Paula Badosa She became Paula Badosa again with a racket in her hand. She has found her best version since she decided to give up the Olympic Games to achieve redemption which already places her on the edge of the top 10 in the WTA rankings. In Ningbo, they advanced with splendor to the final. He was only hampered by Russian Daria Kasatkina in the semi-final. And there was the Spanish one.
He withdrew from the Chinese tournament after losing the first set and requiring a medical examination to measure his blood pressure. She was treated by the doctor at the start of the second set and then went to the chair umpire to notify him of her retirement after a little over three-quarters of an hour of play.
The doctor also treated him for discomfort in the abdominal region which forced him to leave the Wuhan tournament due to gastroenteritis. At the WTA 1000 in Beijing, she also reached the semi-finals, where she suffered a comeback from the American Coco Gauff (4-6, 6-4, 6-2). Her withdrawal in Ningbo is the 34th of her career, which leaves her practically no chance of participating in the WTA finals in Riyadh (November 2 to 9) as a substitute.
Kasatkina, his executioner, is one of his direct rivals for one of the two places and today has an income of 295 points. The title will only be worth it next week in Tokyo if Kasatkina wins the title in Ningbo and the final if Daria loses this Sunday. It remains to be seen whether he recovers in time or finishes his Asian tour to concentrate on the final phase of the Billie Jean King Cup (November 13 to 20 in Malaga). Spain opens the first day against Poland without number one Iga Swiatek.
