Badosa starts his way in Montreal with a win against Golubic

Paula Badosa get your smile back on a tennis court. The Spanish born in New York reappeared in competition in the WTA 1,000 from Canada after suffering a heat stroke in Tokyo that forced him to leave the Olympics, when only a victory separated him from the fight for the medals. In Montreal, Badosa proved to have overcome that emotional blow with a remarkable version of her tennis that gave her the victory against the Swiss Vitkorija Golubic (47th): 6-2 and 6-3 in 91 minutes of the match.

The wide marker by which Paula was imposed, does not fully reflect the disputed of a match that had long games, with alternatives for both tennis players beyond the 'deuce'. Among the readings left by the duel, the Catalan must take good note of a service with which she committed five double faults and added a discreet 59% of points won with first aces. In the rest he cemented his victory, after a partial of four games in the first set (4-1) with which he recovered from an initial break. The second sleeve was more even, but Paula hit the gas after 2-2 to add a 4-1 partial with which he managed to finalize his debut in the Canadian tournament.

With the momentum of victory, but with some doubts to clear in his game, Javier Martí's pupil will face next Wednesday in the second round with the winner of the duel between Madison keys (26th) and the local player, with condition of wildcard, Rebecca Marino (220º).

Rain of withdrawals

In the rest of the matches of the day there were up to three retirements: Tomljanovic, Martincova and Bouzkova. These dropouts resulted in tickets to the next round for Ferro, Anisimova and Sakkari. They also advanced, with victories on the track, Siniakova (he left out Ostapenko), Podoroska (beat Linette), Cirstea (surpassed Riske) and Dodin (eliminated Muchova).
