Darja Semenistaja vs Paula Badosa prediction

Paula Badosa is back in the top 100 and looking like finishing 2026 on a positive note.

The Spaniard has been putting together some solid results and more consistent tennis of late and if she’s fit, the former world number two is still capable of some high-level tennis. 

Darja Semenistaja has very much struggled for victories since June and although the Latvian is not far behind on the WTA ladder, Badosa should be too strong if she is at a decent level.
