MADRID, 20 Abr. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Spanish tennis player Paula Badosa has easily defeated the also national player Cristina Bucsa (6-1, 6-2) this Thursday in the round of 16 of the tournament in Stuttgart (Germany), in the WTA 500 category and on clay.
As in the first round, Badosa, number 31 in the world, needed just over an hour to prevail over Bucsa, who is ranked 76 in the world and never knew how to put the tennis player from Barcelona in trouble.
Badosa began taking the first set with much superiority, conceding only one game. While in the second set, after an overwhelming initial 5-0, it was difficult for him to close the game, allowing his rival to win two consecutive games with which he made up the final result.
In the quarterfinals, the Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka, number two in the world ranking, who has comfortably imposed herself (6-2,6-3) on the Czech Barbora Krejcikova, awaits her.
