Paula Badosa vs Antonia Ruzic prediction
Paula Badosa could well end 2026 back inside the top 50.
The Spaniard appears to be in a much-needed spell of being injury free and is playing with real verve, leading to her going deep across various tournaments recently.
The former world number two takes on Antonia Ruzic for the second time with the Croatian struggling for results at tour-level in recent months.
Badosa won 6-3 7-6 in Beijing last year and a similar shout seems a good bet given their respective levels of late.
