Wimbledon: Badosa reaches third round
Paula Badosa won against Brenda Fruhvirtova 6-4, 6-2 on Thursday. She’ll play Russian Daria Kasatkina, the No 14 seed, in the next round
Spaniard Paula Badosa defeated Brenda Fruhvirtova 6-4, 6-2 to move into the third round of Wimbledon at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London on Thursday.
The win sees Badosa make the third round of a Grand Slam for the third time in 2024.
“Winning matches, getting myself into these rounds and feeling my body okay, of course it gives me faith of continuing,” said Badosa after the match.
“Of course, I’m very motivated. The last tournaments I think I’ve been feeling myself pretty good, so I think the level is raising slowly, so I’m happy with that.”
Badosa, ranked No 93, will face Russian Daria Kasatkina, the No 14 seed, next.
The Spaniard won against Karolina Muchova (6-3, 6-2) in the previous round of The Championships.
In the previous round of The Championships, Fruhvirtova, ranked No 88, beat Russian Mirra Andreeva, the No 24 seed (1-6, 6-3, 6-2).
