Badosa Battles Back to Reach US Open Round of 16

Paula Badosa, the Spanish tennis star, advanced to the Round of 16 at the US Open after a hard-fought victory over Romania’s Elena-Gabriela Ruse. The match was a rollercoaster of emotions, with Badosa overcoming a shaky start and a match point against her in the third set before ultimately triumphing 4-6, 6-1, 7-6(8). The match was a tense affair, with Ruse taking the first set and having multiple opportunities to close out the match in the third. Badosa, however, rallied and eventually sealed the win after a grueling tie-break. Badosa will now face either Victoria Azarenka of Belarus or China’s Yafan Wang in the next round.
