Paula Badosa has qualified for the Iasi Open final, where she will face fellow unseeded player Mayar Sherif. This is their second career meeting. Badosa is unbeaten in the final on tour, and has the backing of our prediction.
Sherif has ended a two-year wait for a tour final appearance and seeks to win her first tour title in four years. The Egyptian star, who has lost two of the three tour finals she has played, defeated Oleksandra Oliynykova in the semis.
A clay court specialist, Sherif has contested all her tour finals on clay. This year, she has registered 28 of her 29 wins on clay. Qualifying for the final has catapulted the 30-year-old 24 places to 73rd in the live ranking.
Badosa is enjoying her best run of form this year and now seeks a second successive title. The Spaniard, who has won nine straight matches, arrived for her Iasi debut after lifting the Swedish Open.
She is odds on to continue an exciting record in tour finals. Badosa has never lost whenever she has made it this far at a tour event, winning four titles, including a 1000 crown.
The 28-year-old, who has dropped just one set during her current winning run, defeated Tamara Zidansek in straights in the semis. Badosa’s performance this week has allowed her to return to the WTA top-100 and is now 93rd in the live ranking.
