Aus Open: Badosa Dispatches Gauff To Make Maiden Grand Slam Semifinal

By IANS News January 21, 2025 • 09:26 AM View: 418

Former World No: Former World No.2 Paula Badosa reached her maiden Grand Slam semifinal after upsetting World No. 3 Coco Gauff 7-5, 6-4 in the quarterfinal on Tuesday.

The 27-year-old Badosa, who was 2024's Comeback Player of the Year following a career-threatening back injury in the prior year, had previously been 0-2 in her career in major quarterfinals before she handed Gauff her first loss of 2025 in 1 hour and 43 minutes inside Rod Laver Arena.

"Today I came in, and I wanted to play my best game, and I think I did it. Coco, at the beginning, she was playing insane tennis, but I'm super proud of the level I gave today," Badosa said post-match
