Paula Badosa continues to shine. After winning her first title in two years at the WTA 125 in Bastad, the Spanish tennis player remains unbeatable at the WTA 250 in Iasi, where she is already in the quarterfinals after defeating Alevtina Ibragimova with an epic remontada that ended with a score of 7-6(5) 1-6 6-4.
This is the most consistent Badosa we have seen in the last few months, and even mentally, she is a true rock. In the first set, the Spanish player found herself down a break on three occasions, but she always managed to break back and force the tie-break, where she was superior and took the lead. However, Ibragimova responded with an immense second set where she gave Paula little chance. In fact, the third set seemed to favor the Russian player with 4-1 and serve, but Paula dug deep and won 6 consecutive games to complete the comeback.
Quevedo falls to Sherif
The downside of the day was Kaitlin Quevedo, who lost to Mayar Sherif with a score of 6-3 7-6(2) after a match in which the Egyptian player controlled the flashes of the Spanish player and ultimately imposed her will to reach the quarterfinals, where she will face Yulia Putintseva.
In Badosa's case, she once again emerges as one of the favorites to win the tournament for another week. In the quarterfinals, she will face the winner of the match between Kawa and Udvardy, and she has already secured at least leaving the tournament in the 107th position in the WTA ranking. Furthermore, if she manages to lift her second consecutive title in two weeks, Badosa would re-enter the top 80, thus gradually achieving her goal of returning to the top ranks of the standings.
