Paula Badosa continues to make progress in her goal of returning to the WTA Top 100 ranking and, at the same time, securing a spot in the main draw of the US Open. The entry deadline is next July 20, so her participation in this WTA 250 Iasi appears crucial for the Spanish player's aspirations to enter the main draw of the New York Grand Slam.

So far, she has started well and has debuted with a victory against Anhelina Kalinina, who was the fourth seed in the tournament, with a score of 6-3, 6-1, after an hour and thirty minutes of play. However, the Catalan had a little scare at the beginning of the match when she called the physio for a thigh issue. But after treatment and the application of a bandage, the Spanish player continued dominating the Ukrainian to advance to the round of 16 of the Romanian tournament, where she will face the Russian qualifier, Alevtina Ibragimova.

These are the scenarios Paula Badosa needs to return to the WTA Top 100

With this first victory at the WTA Iasi, Paula Badosa climbs four spots to the 111th position and steadily approaches the top 100 threshold. Nevertheless, the Begur native is well aware of the calculations needed in Romania to secure her US Open ticket and return to the top 100 female tennis players in the world. Reaching the semifinals would place her provisionally at 99th, while making it to the final or winning the title would essentially achieve her goal.

Regarding the other Spanish players present at the WTA 250 Iasi, Kaitlin Quevedo, who was making her top 100 debut, also started with a victory against Gabriela Ruse at 6-3, 6-1. Meanwhile, Leyre Romero, who got through the qualifiers, fell to Panna Udvardy (6-3, 4-6, 6-3) and Sara Sorribes, who received a wild card, was unable to defeat Anna Bondar (7-5, 6-4).
