Two days after crushing Fiona Ferro on the Central (6-2, 6-0), Paula Badosa had much more difficulty getting rid of the Slovenian Kaja Juvan (68th in the world), who managed to take in set thanks to his tenacity (7-5, 3-6, 6-2). But the main thing is except for the Spaniard, seeded number 4 in the tournament, who will face the Russian Veronika Kudermetova (29th) this Saturday.
Seeded number 11, Jessica Pegula could have saved herself some fears by concluding a second set where she led 5-1 before serving to win the match. But after a disjointed end to the match, it was the Ukrainian Anhelina Kalinina (36th) who gave up (6-1, 5-7, 6-4). The American will face in 16th the Egyptian Mayar Sherif (49th) or the Slovenian Tamara Zidansek (25th).
