Mary Stoiana and Paula Badosa: Paula Badosa leads 1–0 across 1 recorded meeting.
Paula Badosa, seeded second at the SP Open, reached the semifinals of the WTA 250 in São Paulo with a straight-sets win over Mary Stoiana. Serve held little advantage in the opening set. Badosa broke in the first game and again in game 5; Stoiana broke back both times, for 2-2 and 3-3. Badosa's break in game 7 put her ahead 4-3, and she took the set 6-4. The second set ran one way, with Badosa breaking in games 3 and 5 for a 4-1 lead. Badosa won 77 percent of her first-serve points to Stoiana's 36, and Stoiana held four of her nine service games, though she did save two match points. Stoiana, a 23-year-old American at WTA No. 116, had come through Claire Liu and Dominika Salkova this week after starting the season ranked 223rd. Badosa, at No. 70 after opening the year at No. 25, has dropped one set in three matches here.
