Aryna Sabalenka defeated Paula Badosa in the third round of the 2024 French Open women’s singles draw on Saturday, June 1. This was notably Sabalenka’s fifth win in seven matches against Badosa.
She was notably unable to get better of Badosa in their first two meetings at the Cincinnati Masters and the WTA Finals in 2021 but hasn’t lost any match thereafter.Unfortunately for Badosa, she has been having a hard time finding her footing after suffering a back injury at the Italian Open in 2023.
