Paula Badosa is always back. After a very irregular clay court season where she decided to pause after the Mutua Madrid Open, thus giving up on participating in the WTA 1000 in Rome and the qualifying rounds of Roland Garros, the Spanish player focused all her efforts on the grass court season. There, she managed to reach the quarterfinals at the WTA Berlin but made an early exit at Wimbledon, leading her to compete in the WTA 125 at Bastad to improve her ranking and secure her first title since 2024. Nevertheless, the Catalan player remains outside the Top 100 just a few days before the US Open list closure.

Having overcome injuries and rediscovered her game, Badosa's next goal is to gradually climb back up the WTA rankings. Her initial target is to re-enter the Top 100, currently holding the 115th position with 670 points.

Here's what Paula Badosa needs to do to get back to the Top 100 of the WTA ranking and play the US Open

However, returning to the list of the top 100 best tennis players in the world offers another prize: securing a spot in the main draw of the US Open, the final Grand Slam of the year. Yet, time is running out as the lists for the New York tournament close next Monday, July 20. Therefore, Badosa needs a remarkable performance at the WTA 125 in Iasi.

There is no need to panic as the Spanish player arrives in great form, freshly crowned as the champion of the WTA 125 in Bastad. The math is clear and simple; Badosa currently sits at 79 points behind the player closing the Top 100, Anastasia Zakharova. This means she would need at least to reach the final of the Romanian tournament (81 points) to reclaim her spot among the top 100 in the world. Alternatively, winning the title would almost guarantee her place in the US Open main draw.

Now the question arises whether Badosa's body, constantly troubled by injuries, can endure two weeks of top-level tennis, coupled with the pressure of having to reach the final at all costs. As for her opponents, the Begur native will face the fourth seed, Anhelina Kalinina, in the opening match, possibly meeting Dominika Salkova in the round of sixteen. Panna Udvardy or Simona Waltert could await her in the quarterfinals, with the potential of facing Petra Marcinko, Anna Bondar, or Emiliana Arango in the semifinals. The final might see her up against the top favorite, Jacqueline Cristian, or Elsa Jacquemot.

The tournament in Rome will also feature two more players: Kaitlin Quevedo, in the top half of the draw, and Sara Sorribes, who could potentially meet Badosa in the quarterfinals.

This is the path Paula Badosa must follow to regain a spot in the WTA ranking Top 100 and secure a place in the main draw of a US Open she missed last year due to injury. This opportunity comes at a prime moment for a resilient Badosa who never gives up.
