US Open quarterfinalist Paula Badosa will take on Rebecca Sramkova in the third round of the China Open 2024 on Sunday, 29 September.

Badosa, seeded fifteenth at the tournament, defeated Viktoriya Tomova in straight sets, 6-3, 6-2 in her previous clash. Her recent US Open performance saw her reach the quarterfinals, where she fell to home favorite Emma Navarro in straight sets, 2-6, 5-7. Badosa's impressive run included victories over Wang Yafan, Elena-Gabriela Ruse, Taylor Townsend, and Viktoriya Golubic. With a 65% win rate in the past twelve months, Badosa's growing composure on the court is evident.

Sramkova, on the other hand, qualified for the Round of 32 after defeating players like Tamara Zidansek, Polina Kudermetova, and Anhelina Kalinina. In her latest match, she upset twenty-second seed Ekaterina Alexandrova in three sets, 7-5, 6-4, 6-3. She has competed in the Thailand Open and the Jasmin Open after failing to qualify for the main draw at the US Open. Sramkova entered this tournament in excellent form, having reached back-to-back finals and won her first career title (Jasmin Open) in Tunisia. With a 65% win rate in the last twelve months, Sramkova is a formidable opponent and this match is sure to be exciting.

This Round of 32 match between Badosa and Sramkova is sure to be exciting. Both players are known for their aggressive playing styles and solid forehands. While Sramkova is a powerful attacker, Badosa's strong defense could give her an advantage.

Badosa's excellent footwork and ability to place her shots accurately could be key in catching Sramkova out of position and forcing errors. However, given their similar levels of play and recent tournament performances, it's difficult to predict a clear winner. Based on Badosa's improved form of late and the fact that she has had more time to recover, she may have a slight advantage and could advance to the next round.

Pick- Paula Badosa to win in three sets.
