Eighth seed Paula Badosa is set for a quarterfinal battle against qualifier Xinyu Wang at the Berlin Open. The Spaniard has looked sharp so far, easing past wild card Eva Lys and unseeded Emma Navarro in straight sets. Wang, meanwhile, has turned heads with a breakout run, first taking out Daria Kasatkina, then stunning second seed Coco Gauff, who was fresh off her French Open title earlier this month.

Wang’s giant-killing form has drawn comparisons to Lois Boisson’s fairytale run in Paris by some. While Berlin isn’t a Grand Slam, it’s still a prestigious WTA 500, and if Wang can keep her momentum going, another upset could be in the cards.

Paula Badosa vs. Xinyu Wang Preview

Badosa has flashed top form, most notably during her Australian Open semifinal run, which included a win over Coco Gauff but a loss to Aryna Sabalenka. She also reached the Roland Garros third round and Strasbourg quarters, winning 69.3% of first-serve points and firing 104 aces across 24 matches. But her season has also been hampered by recurring back issues, forcing withdrawals from Indian Wells, Madrid, and Rome, along with mid-match retirements in Merida and Miami.
