Paula Badosa’s adventure at the WTA 500 in Bad Homburg has come to an end this Thursday, The Russian Diana Schneider, the 84th ranking, has acted as executioner, with a score of 6-3 and 7-6(3).
It was the fifth confrontation between the two, the fourth of the course. The Spaniard dominated the previous ones 3-1. The only defeat was the past month of January in Hua Hin due to withdrawal of a Badosa who is left with the desire to chain three wins in the same competition for the second time this season. The other was in the land of the Roman Forum Itico.
The progression in the lists of Pol Toledo’s pupil has slowed down in position 93. It is worth remembering that he started the week at number 113, far from the ‘top100’.
Shnaider scored an initial round full of alternatives. The match was suspended at the conclusion of the first set as a result of rain. Shnaider came out more energized in the continuation and increased the score to a comfortable 3-0.
Badosa lacked the mobility of previous days. He was far from the level he had shown to defeat Arantxa Rus and Jule Niemeier.
However, Paula pulled out all the stops to tie it at four games. He even had a 5-4 ball and serve. She couldn’t take advantage of it.
