Badosa Earns Linz Wild Card After Charleston Run

Paula Badosa’s back‑to‑back wins over Kayla Day and Maria Sakkari at Charleston earned her a spot in the Linz Open’s main draw as a wild card. The WTA 250 event, held in Austria from April 6th, will feature eight top‑40 players and offers Badosa a chance to rebound from a ranking outside the top 100. With no points to defend, the Spaniard can play with added freedom and aim to close the gap toward the top 100.
