  • WTA Finals Tournament draw

True to herself, in a refined expression of tennis that led her to win two Grand Slam titles and play number 1 in the world,

Garbiñe Muguruza

did not give

Paula Badosa a

choice

and will play the final next morning (02.30, TVE 1) of the WTA Finals. The Spanish semifinal had no greater history than that written in resounding handwriting by the champion this year in Dubai and Chicago. It was the triumph of experience against the push of a newcomer to the elite. He won 6-3 and 6-3, in one hour and 25 minutes, and will seek the tenth title of his career.

Taking into account the path of both throughout the last months of the course, Paula Badosa, the first of her group, appeared in good disposition despite a minor defeat in the last game against

Iga Swiatek

. Nobody was counting on her in this tournament at the beginning of the course. His season has been a dream. On the other side, Garbiñe, in progression throughout the tournament, also offered an outstanding service record. Two

majors

, two other finals, his passage through the attic of the rankings and the added experience of having played the semifinals of the WTA Finals in 2015.

Garbiñe's career has been more linear since she stuck her head out at Indian Wells and Miami in 2013. Paula did not initially respond to the expectations aroused with her victory in the junior team at Roland Garros in 2015. Just turned 24, she's coming. with magnificent arguments, but denoted a lack of rennet in top-ranking commitments.

Muguruza came out with the loaded shotgun.

He tried to intimidate his opponent with every hit, also with the rest, and got an early reward with the

break

in the third game.

The Spanish-Venezuelan did not give respite to a Badosa who only had to weather the gale.

The champion in 2021 was barely sustained in Indian Wells and Belgrade, without the personality that she has been showing in a year of continuous ascent.

Pure conviction

Very successful with the service, with more order and determination in her game, Muguruza responded better to the demands of the game.

It was pure conviction, the firm desire to regain center stage again, as he already hinted at in his victory against

Anett Kontaveit

, who will play the second semi-final against

Maria Sakkari

.

Paula lost the first set on her own serve and displayed desperation from the chair.

He couldn't find a way to join the party.

Overcome by responsibility, in a state of decomposition, she found two excellent parallel setbacks to save two breaking balls in the second game of the second set.

Muguruza, who was sniffing the blood, would not yield.

On the fourth chance he achieved the goal.

Badosa lost his last train in the next game, where he created three options to break his opponent for the first time in the match.

Garbiñe stirred, without allowing himself any right to distraction.

Badosa just dissolved by giving up his serve once again in the sixth game.

It was the day of Muguruza, whose hand did not tremble to return from a 0-30 in the final game and seal the victory.

She is the second Spanish finalist of the tournament.
