Barty into final of Madrid Open, Nadal beats Popyrin to reach quarters – Sydney Morning Herald
Top-ranked Ash Barty cruised into the final with a 6-4, 6-3 win over wild-card entry Paula Badosa, the first Spanish woman to reach the semifinals in Madrid.
I know its been a big tournament for her, shes played an exceptional level of tennis, Barty said of Badosa.
She served particularly well, being able to control the court with her forehand. I think that was a challenge today. I was trying to neutralise that as best I could.
Rafael Nadal got through another young opponent and showed signs he was getting closer to his best form on clay.Credit:
