Paula Badosa Gilbert vs Rebecca Peterson: Preview
The Spaniard is coming into this match high on confidence after winning 10 matches out of 12 on the clay so far. Badosa started her clay court season by reaching the finals of Charleston and also beat Ashleigh Barty and Belinda Bencic on the way. Later, she even made the finals in Madrid, where the World No.1 Barty avenged her defeat. The 23-year-old is yet to drop a set this week in Belgrade and is one of the prime contenders to win the title.
On the other hand, the Swede has only played five matches on the clay this season. Although Peterson made the quarterfinals in Saint-Malo, her struggle on the dirt has been visible. This week too, the 25-year-old has gone through two, three-setters. Not much is expected from Peterson going ahead in Belgrade.
