Paula Badosa is starting to find reasons to be optimistic. The Spaniard seems to be rediscovering her tennis skills, and injuries are being kind to her, allowing her to make the most of the situation. She performed well at Wimbledon despite her first-round defeat. Far from being discouraged, she boarded a flight to Bastad to participate in the WTA 125 and dominate all her opponents en route to the final without dropping a set. Her latest victim, Yulia Putintseva, whom she defeated 6-1, 6-2 in an hour and six minutes. This marks her first appearance in the final of a tournament since she lifted the trophy at the WTA Washington in the summer of 2024.

Her opponent in the final will be Simona Waltert, who overcame the other Spanish player remaining in the draw, Kaitlin Quevedo, with a score of 7-5, 6-2 in the semifinals. Thus, the Swiss and the Spaniard will face each other for the first time in their careers. Badosa reaches the final after defeating players of the caliber of Marina Bassols (6-3, 6-2), Emiliana Arango (6-2, 6-2), and Varvara Lepchencko (7-5, 7-6(3)).
