Paula Badosa has many reasons to be proud. The Catalan closes out about three weeks on the summer clay court tour in Europe with great sensations, a title, and the goal of returning to the top 100 and securing a spot in the US Open, which has been completely achieved. However, the main rival of the Spaniard during this period has been Mayar Sherif, who defeated her in the final of the WTA Iasi, although it was due to Badosa's withdrawal, and she does it again in the quarterfinals of the WTA Hamburg.

Nevertheless, it was a duel in which either could have won. Both pushed themselves to the limit, and after 3 hours and 30 minutes of battle, the Egyptian raised her fist in victory once more with a score of 6-4, 6-7(2), 6-4. In this way, the North African will face off in the semifinals against the winner of the match between Anhelina Kalinina and Tamara Korpatsch.

12 wins and counting 👏

Mayar Sheriff continues her successful run, while Paula Badosa already thinks about the North American hard court tour

Mayar Sherif continues with an incredible streak, winning 16 out of 17 matches and claiming three titles in her last four tournaments. This has propelled her in less than a month from the 129th position in the WTA rankings to enter the top 55. And she achieves this after a period in which she suffered from anxiety, as she confessed in an interview with The National.

"I realized how much I love tennis. Because when I stopped playing, I really wanted to come back. I really wanted to compete again and do it well. I wanted to feel what I feel now. I wanted to feel success. I wanted to feel that hard work is paying off. I wanted to feel that after failing so many times, in the end, I will succeed. Because, of course, the satisfaction now is immense," she pointed out.

For Paula Badosa, it concludes a great tour where she reaffirms her great form and will head to the North American hard court tour aiming to continue climbing in the WTA rankings. Currently, she is in the 82nd position, striving to reach the later rounds.
