Paula Badosa is always back. After a very irregular clay court season where she decided to stop after the Mutua Madrid Open, thereby giving up on participating in the WTA 1000 in Rome and in 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 again at the WTA Berlin, but made an early exit at Wimbledon. Subsequently, she had to compete in the WTA 125 in Bastad to regain ranking points and secure her first title since 2024. Nevertheless, the Catalan player remains outside the Top 100 a few days before the US Open's entry deadline.

Having overcome injuries and rediscovered her game, Badosa's next goal is gradually climbing back up the WTA rankings. Her initial target is to return to the Top 100, currently standing at 115th place with 670 points.

This is what Paula Badosa must do to re-enter the Top 100 of the WTA rankings and play in the US Open

The opportunity to rejoin the top 100 female tennis players in the world comes with an additional prize: securing a spot in the main draw of the US Open, the final Grand Slam of the year. However, time is pressing as the entry list for the New York tournament closes on Monday, July 20. Therefore, Badosa needs a strong performance at the WTA 125 in Iasi.

Despite the urgency, the Spanish player arrives in excellent form after winning the WTA 125 title in Bastad. The calculations are straightforward: Badosa is currently 79 points behind the player ranked 100th, who is Anastasia Zakharova. Therefore, at a minimum, she would need to reach the final of the Romanian tournament (81 points) to regain her place among the top 100, while winning the title would almost guarantee her entry into the US Open's main draw.

The question now is whether Badosa's body, frequently plagued by injuries, can withstand two weeks of elite-level tennis, coupled with the pressure to reach the final. As for her tournament path, she will face the fourth seed Anhelina Kalinina in her opening match, possibly meeting Dominika Salkova in the round of 16. Potential rivals in the quarterfinals include Panna Udvardy or Simona Waltert, the latter being defeated by Badosa in the Bastad final. In the hypothetical semifinals, she could clash with Petra Marcinko, Anna Bondar, or Emiliana Arango. The grand final might see her up against the top favorite, Jacqueline Cristian, or Elsa Jacquemot.

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

.

Thus, this is the path that Paula Badosa must take to return to the Top 100 of the WTA ranking and to earn a place in the main draw of a US Open she missed last year due to injury. It's an excellent opportunity for a resilient Badosa who never gives up.
