Paula Badosa继续势不可挡：再获胜利即可直接进入美网

Paula Badosa is experiencing her best moment of the season. The Spanish tennis player qualified for the final of the WTA 250 de Iasi on Friday after defeating Hungarian Panna Udvardy 6-4 and 7-6 in a highly competitive match, a victory that extends her excellent streak and brings her closer to the goal of competing in the main draw of the US Open 2026.

The Catalan has now strung together eight consecutive wins, a streak that began last week with the title win in Bastad and has continued on the Romanian clay courts. Beyond reaching another final, the victory holds immense value in the world rankings.

Thanks to the points collected in Iasi, Badosa virtually climbs to the 103rd position in the WTA ranking, just on the brink of the top 100 and, more importantly, just one win away from mathematically securing a place in the main draw of the final Grand Slam of the season. An objective that just a few weeks ago seemed very challenging after a year marked by irregularity and the need to regain positions in the rankings.

What does Badosa need to avoid the US Open qualifying rounds?

The Spanish player has shown solidity in crucial moments once again. After winning the first set 6-4, she faced strong resistance from Udvardy in the second set. However, Badosa remained calm in the tie-break to close the match in two sets and avoid further exertion before the final.

Now she will have an outstanding opportunity to complete a perfect week. Besides vying for her second consecutive title, Badosa will seek a victory that could change the course of her season, guaranteeing her direct access to the main draw of the US Open and confirming that she is getting closer to the competitive level that once placed her among the world's best players.
