Simona Halep qualified for the third round of the Mutua Madrid Open 2022 thanks to the victory in straight sets, with a score of 6-2 6-1, against the Spanish Paula Badosa, in a match that lasted just over an hour of play.
The number two in the world remains clinging to the game until 3-3: especially thanks to physical problems, she has practically time to move the score only on another occasion and to obtain a handful of chances for the 2-5.
The 6-3 6-1 final basically remains a logical consequence. For the Romanian this will be a good chance in a segment of the draw now apparently freer.
Even if in the third round the young American starlet Coco Gauff could already represent a problem who defeated Yulia Putinsteva in three sets.
Below the highlights of the match between Simona Halep and Paula Badosa.
