Command Analysis
Current form
Badosa was in excellent shape for the start of the US Open and her appearance in the 1/8 finals is no surprise. In the tournament grid, Paula dealt with Golubic and Townsend in two sets, but had big problems with Ruze in the third round. She managed to win over the unyielding Romanian only in the decisive tie-break (4-6, 6-1, 7-6).
Professional qualities
Badosa tries to keep a high tempo when exchanging blows, to play ahead. Paula has a powerful first serve in her arsenal, which brings her many easy points.
Current indicators in the tour
The Spanish tennis player spent a long time recovering from her injury and only in May did she more or less get back into shape. Since the beginning of the year, Paula has 18 wins and eight losses on hard courts. It is characteristic that she won 13 of these victories during the current hard court series, including the title in Washington.
Interesting facts for betting

Current form
Wang Yafan is having the most successful US Open of her career. Before this year, she had never made it past the second round on local courts. At the start, the Chinese tennis player was somewhat lucky, as Maria Sakkari was unable to finish the match due to injury. In the second round, Wang Yafan confidently beat Parry with a score of 6-0, 6-4. Next came the match against the experienced Azarenka, where the 80th racket of the world managed to win an important victory thanks to her tenacious play on the back line (6-4, 3-6, 6-1).
Professional qualities
The Chinese tennis player does not have a powerful hit or serve, but achieves success due to her stable actions on the baseline and high speed of movement on the court.
Current indicators in the tour
Hard is Wang Yafan's core surface and it is no coincidence that she has impressive statistics here - 20 wins and 12 losses. In the world rankings, she is on a modest 80th place, although she once rose to the top 50, but did not stay there for long.
Interesting facts for betting
- Four of Wang Yafan's previous six matches have seen more than nine games played in the first set.
