The Roland Garros Paul Bados campaign ended in the third round on Saturday, when the 10-deployed Spaniard fell 6-1, 7-5 on Australian Daria Kasatkin. Despite the flashes of her trademark, Badosa faced physical discomfort during the competition and could not overcome Kasatkin’s consistency and court craft.
Kasatkina, 17th, took the lead from the beginning and broke twice in the first 20 minutes to build a commanding line of 5-0. Her depth and accuracy from the ground revealed Badosa’s movement and the first set was packed in a little over half an hour. Badosa, which showed resistance in close victories over Naomi Osaka and Elena-Gabriel Ruse earlier in the tournament, seemed physically disturbed and often searched for her box.
