Prediction
Paula Badosa and Ajla Tomljanovic will be meeting for the third time tomorrow in Cincinnati.
Badosa enters the competition having lost to Yulia Putintseva in the opening round at the Canadian Open. Since the Spaniard, who is still ranked as a top-three talent, has had generally meagre results, some change is needed. She had a few successful seasons before then, making it all the way to the Silicon Valley Classic semifinals before falling to Daria Kasatkina.
In one of her most discouraging performances, she was defeated by Simona Halep in the Round of 16 at Wimbledon. Apart from that, Paula has consistently failed to go past the Round of 16 or Quarterfinals and is still without a Grand Slam; her best performance was winning the Indian Wells Master title. Because of this, Badosa needs to pick up the pace and try to win a championship in the US Open.
Ajla entered the competition having lost twice, once to Ludmilla Samsonova in the Round of 16 and once to Iga Swiatek in the Round of 32. At Wimbledon, she did leave a lasting impact by making it to the Quarterfinals, beating veterans like Jil Teichmann, Barbora Krejcikova, and Alize Cornet, and forcing eventual champion Elena Rybakina into a third set.
Ajla’s backhand, which aids her in the return game, is her primary weapon. Ajla’s service game is still a major weakness, and occasionally her forehand struggles to match her incredible backhand, which has hindered her recently. Tomljanovic typically competes as a qualifier, although she has a wealth of knowledge. She has a history of being a dominant ITF player.
Badosa has been having some trouble with her return game, which is Ajla’s strong suit. The majority of the time, Paula has outperformed Ajla in the service game. In terms of consistency, Tomljanovic has frequently been unable to hold his own against top players while Paula has struggled despite her high rating.
