Paula Badosa continues to add victories. After falling in the final of WTA Iasi, where she was forced to retire due to physical problems, the Spanish player appears to be completely recovered and is continuing her streak in this summer clay court tour after starting with a win at WTA Hamburg against Katarzyna Kawa with a score of 7-5, 6-4, after one hour and 54 minutes. She has now secured 10 victories in her last 11 matches, allowing her to return to the top 100 and secure a spot in the main draw of US Open 2026.
In fact, this latest victory against the Polish player has helped her climb further in the WTA ranking, placing her provisionally at number 86 in the women's list, which is seven positions higher. A win in the German tournament's round of 16 against Panna Udvardy, whom she already eliminated in the quarterfinals of Iasi, would push her up to the 82nd position. If she were to claim the title, which seems likely considering her performance, she would re-enter the top 50, specifically at the 48th spot.

Paula Badosa is enjoying a good health that is allowing her to regain her best tennis level
Paula Badosa's main goal for the coming months is to maintain the level she showed at Wimbledon, despite her first-round defeat, which she has extended to the WTA 125K in Bastad, where she claimed the title, to the WTA 250 in Iasi, where she reached the final, and to the WTA 250 in Hamburg, where she aims to go far.
She will then leave the clay courts to transition to the North American hard court tour, where she achieved great results in 2024 (title in Washington, semifinal in Cincinnati, and quarterfinals of the US Open). Paula Badosa is once again proving that, when injuries are not a hindrance, she is a very dangerous player capable of fighting for greater things.
