Paula Badosa is in luck, as two years after her last title at the WTA 500 in Washington, she has once again lifted a trophy at the WTA Bastad 2026, where she defeated Simona Waltert in the final with a score of 7-5 7-5 after 2 hours and 1 minute of play, where she was superior at all times.

These are great news for tennis and for the interests of the Spanish tennis player after months and months enduring a nightmare with injuries. Being able to reach the final rounds of a clay court tournament and win it means that her body is responding well, as there have never been doubts about her game. In fact, Badosa has not dropped a set throughout the week, and today she showcased brilliant tennis to dismantle her opponent.

Badosa climbs in the WTA rankings and approaches the top 100

In the first set, she was break down and trailing, but she leveled the match in the eighth game and broke again to lead 6-5. The second set was the opposite, as Paula stepped up and was the one to break the Swiss player's serve. However, Waltert returned the favor, and the score remained tied until another 6-5 where Simona succumbed to pressure and handed her the title on a platter.

This result will allow Badosa to rise to 115th place in the WTA rankings, getting closer to breaking into the top 100 once again. Furthermore, the result and game shown will fill her with confidence for the second part of the season where she can make a statement and return to top positions. Her happy face upon sealing the victory says it all. This result is more than just a triumph; it is the confirmation that she is back.
