MADRID, 15 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Spanish tennis player Paula Badosa has said goodbye to the tournament in San Diego (United States), of the WTA 500 category and played on hard court, after falling this morning in the quarterfinals against the American Danielle Collins (7-6 (5), 6-4).
The Catalan, visibly frustrated during the match and who came to throw her racket in the final stretch of the second set, will lose 924 points next Monday that will make her fall from number four to nine in the WTA ranking, which complicates her presence in the WTA Finals.
All after a match in which the exchange of breaks was the dominant trend in the first set, in which Badosa had service to win 6-5. However, the sleeve was resolved in a ‘tiebreak’ in which the local tennis player made fewer errors.
Already in the second set, the Spanish gave up her serve in the third game to recover it with a ‘counterbreak’, but Collins, spurred on by her own, broke her opponent’s service again in the seventh. Badosa had two breaking chances to lengthen the contest, but it did not prevent the North American from putting an end to the fight in just under two hours.
Now, Badosa’s last chance to attend the WTA Finals, which will take place between October 29 and November 7 in Fort Worth (United States), is the tournament in Guadalajara (Mexico), in the WTA 1,000 category. .
