The Spanish tennis player Paula Badosa fell eliminated on Wednesday in the sixteenth-end of the Dubai tournament, of the wta 1000 category and that is played on a hard track, after losing in a tight duel before the kazaja Elena Rybakina in three sets (4-6, 7-6 (8), 7-6 (2)) that lengthened until two hours and 51 minutes of play and in which the Gironí He wasted up to six party points.

Paula Badosa could not get among the 16 best players of the first WTA 1000 of the season and continue with her improvement after a small downturn after her great Australian open after fitting a bitter defeat against Rybakina, current number 7 of the Ranking WTA, where He wasted good options for the second and third partial after dating.

Finally, the errors of the Spanish and the forcefulness with the serve of their rival in the key moments of the meeting, they decreased the balance in favor of Rybakina. Despite this, Badosa has achieved, with the third round of this edition, his best participation in the WTA 1000 of Dubai, in which he is still resisting the round of 16.

The Spanish started from less to more, since Rybakina added the first three games of the match. However, the reaction of the Catalan would arrive, first in the fifth game, in which he managed to break his first ‘break’ of the game and, later in the ninth game, with a second break to close with his serve the first manga by 6 -4.

A positive inertia used by the Spanish in the first game of the second manga to place ‘break’ above on the scoreboard. However, Rybakina would react and with two breaks would be put with an optimal 5-3 after a second break. Badosa would not get nervous, he would recover the service to line and would end up taking the set to a ‘Tie.break’ where he was not able to take advantage of a valuable 6/3 and a more game ball to end up giving up 10/8.

Thus, the game would leave for the third and final set, in which Badosa paid the moral blow of being so close to closing the game and began with a break against. But as he did in the first and second set, he recovered, and even had two other options to close the game to the rest in the twelfth game of the manga. However, Rybakina would rely on his best weapon, the serve, to send the game to a new ‘sudden death’ in which he was much superior to certify the elimination of the favorite novena.
