Unstoppable and more than exciting. That's the only way to define the sensations that Paula Badosa has been transmitting in the past month. She has accumulated 10 victories in her last 11 matches, secured a seed in the US Open 2024, but dreams of the title at the WTA 1000 Cincinnati 2024. To achieve this, she will have to defeat Jessica Pegula in the semifinals after beating 6-3 6-2 Pavlyuchenkova.

There is no better news for Spanish and global women's tennis than witnessing the meteoric resurgence of a woman destined to shine. Paula Badosa has rediscovered happiness on and off the court, seems to have left behind her back problems, and confidence is increasingly present in her tennis. The way she defeated Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in the quarterfinals of the WTA 1000 Cincinnati 2024 is a clear warning that this woman will not settle for what she has achieved in this tour, but wants to arrive at the US Open 2024 with another title under her belt.

There was hardly any story in a clash where the Russian was clearly outmatched by that sublime balance between aggression and consistency that Badosa can find when inspired. She opened up a lead in both sets early on, attacked the ball mercilessly, relied on very good serves, and showed excellent mobility. A solid victory and time to recover before what is presumed to be a great battle against Jessica Pegula.

For her place in the final, the Spaniard will have to defeat one of the best in the world. "I am very happy with the way I see myself playing again. I feel that competing in the United States brings out the best in me; I have lived the most unforgettable moments of my career here. I know I am playing against a local player, but I hope people will also support me because thanks to them, I raise my level," declared Paula Badosa at the end of the match, giving herself plenty of reasons to dream.
