Badosa advances in Sao Paulo.

Glorious late evening that the Spanish Armada has experienced on American soil. A great competition day for our warriors at the WTA Sao Paulo 2026 and WTA Guadalajara 2026, completing an incredible hat trick in a day with only victories. Leading was Paula Badosa, who continues to secure good vibes on Paulista soil, knowing how to suffer to sign a magnificent comeback against Argentine Jaz Ortenzi (4-6, 6-2, 6-2). It’s a significant triumph for Paula, who wants to get closer to the top 50 as soon as possible, thus avoiding early death matches like the one she had against Coco Gauff at the last US Open.

On the other hand, the joy in Brazilian lands was doubled. Kaitlin Quevedo is seeking her first WTA title, a good moment to break out of her shell and flourish, and the level shown throughout this week gives rise to some hope. The Spaniard also advanced to the quarterfinals after easily overcoming local Nauhany 'Nana' Vitoria (6-2, 6-1); considered one of the great promises of world tennis, the Spaniard did not allow the host to celebrate, stifling and frustrating her from the very first moments of play.

Bucsa also triumphs and brings us joy from Guadalajara

But it doesn’t stop here, and the full victories are rounded off by what is probably the most significant win. Cristina Bucsa is already in the semifinals of the WTA Guadalajara 2026, a 500 category tournament, after easily dismantling Czech Sara Bejlek (6-0, 6-4). The Cantabrian gave no chance for a response, and she will face top-tier opposition if she wants to aspire to the title.

For now, only two matches separate her from the champion's trophy: her next opponent will be none other than Iva Jovic, one of the top contenders for the crown, who also had no trouble dispatching Magdalena Frech in the second match of the day. Exciting opportunity for the Spaniard, who will have to take down another giant, but she is ambitious and is on one of the most confident streaks of her 2026.
