Badosa and Keys in the 3rd round of the US Open

Le 28/08/2024 à 19h02 par Guillaume Nonque

Paula Badosa qualified for the 3rd round of the US Open on Wednesday. After controlling the first set, she came within a game of being caught at one set apiece by Taylor Townsend.

But the former world n°2 won the last 4 games of the match to prevail in just over an hour and a half (6-3, 7-5). She will now face Elena-Gabriela Ruse for a place in the last 16.

The adventure also continues for Madison Keys, a finalist at the tournament in 2017, who easily disposed of Australian qualifier Maya Joint in an hour and two sets (6-4, 6-0). She will face Elise Mertens in the 3rd round.
