Spain 11th seeded Bardosa
Spain's No.11 seed Badosa is competing at the Australian Open for the sixth time in her career, and her best result in the tournament is the round of 16 in 2022, and she has already set a record to reach the last four.
Although Gauff has lost the past two encounters, Badosa showed a different face today, playing strongly at the start of the match, and was able to lay a key shot in the final decisive moment, completing the break in the 11th game and successfully taking the lead, and also staged three breaks in the second set, taking an absolute lead of 5:2, and finally winning in straight sets.
American rising star Gauff
The 20-year-old is the first woman to start two consecutive seasons with a 9-0 loss since Azarenka in 2012 and 2013, and is also considered the favorite to win the women's singles title at the Australian Open, but she failed to cross the quarter-finals and rewrite the best result in the history of last year's semi-finals.
