Paula Badosa faces the final stretch of the season with the hope of having a strong finish and qualifying among the top 8 of the season. The Wuhan tournament will distribute 900 points to the winner, and with that goal in mind comes the Spanish player, who dreams of competing in this tournament again, just like she did in 2021. We present Paula's options to qualify for the WTA Finals.

Currently, Badosa ranks 11th in the Race with 2724 points. The cutoff for the WTA Finals in Riyadh is set by Emma Navarro, who is seventh with 3568 points. This is because Barbora Krejcikova, twelfth, won Wimbledon, and the rule allows a Grand Slam winner who is among the top 20 of the year to qualify directly. Therefore, Paula will need to surpass the American player instead of Zheng, who is eighth.

Thus, Paula is 844 points away from surpassing the cutoff. A significant distance, yet not impossible. We can say that mathematically, Badosa still has a chance to enter the top eight of the year. 

Paula Badosa's Draw in Wuhan

The toughest opponent on her path will undoubtedly be Jessica Pegula, who she would face in the round of 16. Paula defeated her last week, so she would arrive with great confidence to repeat the result. If she defeats the American player, she would potentially face Barbora Krejcikova in the quarterfinals. Krejcikova has been struggling since her Wimbledon victory, giving Paula a good chance to reach the semifinals again, as she did this past week in Beijing.

Reaching the semifinals would secure 350 points for Paula. She would need Navarro, who would face Keys, Maia, or Sabalenka in her side of the draw, not to earn many points and get eliminated, along with other contenders like Zheng or Collins, who also have mathematical chances of qualifying for Riyadh. In these hypothetical semifinals, Badosa could potentially face Paolini, Andreeva, or Zheng herself, in a crucial battle for that spot in the WTA Finals.

In case Wuhan doesn't provide enough points for her to qualify, there are still some WTA 500 tournaments like Tokyo where Paula is registered, along with other rivals. Seeing the winning streak she carries into this final stretch of the season, Badosa dreams of a late surge that would allow her to enter the tournament that concludes the tennis year.
