A cyclone has devastated Arthur Ashe in the middle of the afternoon at Spain. Emma Navarrowith a Spanish name and surname, but with an American passport, made a Paula Badosa who threatened to come back in the second set but did not take advantage of the 5-1 lead and ended up retiring. The Spaniard is on the verge of reaching the semi-finals of the US Openwhich would have been the best result of his career in a grand slam.
The Catalan has made a fervent promotion this summer. He has gone from 139th in the world to flirting with the top 20, he has rediscovered his tennis and the feeling of winning. His name resonates on the east coast of the United States. A little over two weeks ago, she won the WTA 500 in Washington, her first title in two years, and in New York she equaled her best quotient in a Grand Slam.
One step away from the semi-finals, a round that a Spanish woman has not reached since Conchita Martínez did it in 1996. It was not Paula’s day. Her 35 unforced errors, including seven double faults, were too heavy a bag for her. She was unable to repeat the triumph of a few months ago, in Rome, against the same rival. A positive tour ends for Badosa, from which she virtually leaves number 20 in the WTA rankings.
