Badosa Returns After Productive Australian Summer
Paula Badosa’s dream of reaching the top of the food chain is gathering pace. This week, the 24-year-old became just the fourth Spanish woman to crack the top-5 of the WTA singles rankings.
Badosa had an Australian summer to remember. She won her third career title and second on hard courts at the Sydney International, taking down a long list of formidable challengers including French Open champion Barbora Krejcikova in the final.
And then at the Australian Open, she reached the second week of the year’s first Major for the first time in her career. Only a red-hot Madison Keys prevented her from going further.
Now the Spanish baseliner will kick off her Middle-Eastern swing with a debut appearance at the Dubai Championships where she is the third seed.
Badosa has a treacherous path to reach the final. Assuming she gets past qualifier Ruse, she will play Simona Halep in the second round. That is before the projected semifinal match against the top seed Aryna Sabalenka.

Ruse Sees Off Tomljanovic To Make Main Draw
Elena-Gabriela Ruse saw off the sixth-seeded qualifier Ajla Tomljanovic to reach the main draw of the WTA Dubai Championships. Ruse came into the match as the underdog, but maintained keen interest throughout.
The Romanian who is more at home on clay courts, had little problems adjusting to the fast hard courts of Dubai. She was quick off the blocks, racing to a 4-0 lead in the first set, before closing it out 6-1 in just 29 minutes.
Tomljanovic responded, and Ruse’s serve began malfunctioning. The Romanian struck seven double faults in the match as the second set went right to the wire.
Ruse was broken while serving for the match at 5-4, but made no mistakes in her second attempt where she held to love to win the match 6-1 7-5.
Badosa v Ruse Prediction and Tip
Badosa is widely regarded as one of the best players in the world in her current form. As straightforward matches go, this has to be top of the pile. I expect the Spaniard to impose herself into the match from the first ball.
Tip: Badosa to win in straight sets: 10/11 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
