Claim Welcome Bonus🇪🇸 Paula Badosa
A force when fit and healthy, Paula Badosa is showing her resurgence with the 2025 Berlin run. There, the 27-year-old Spaniard demolished German wildcard Eva Lys 6-1, 6-3 in an hour on the dot to commence her campaign and then survived a tough Round of 16 fight against rival number nine in the world, Emma Navarro, 7-6 (2), 6-3. Her aggressive baseline game with a much smarter serve is clicking on grass, where she has reached nine quarterfinals in the last year. Against Navarro, Badosa fired 6 aces, won 68 percent of first serve points, and converted 4 of 7 break points, showing great mental strength in the first set tiebreak. The 2025 season for Badosa also boasts a semifinal at the Australian Open and a third-round finish at the French Open, where her back injury aggravated again against Daria Kasatkina (6-1, 7-5 loss). Grass courts have welcomed her with a 4-1 record in 2025, her only loss being the Bad Homburg quarters last year. There has been plenty of recent news about her superior fitness, with her coach told Tennis Majors on June 18, 2025: "Paula's moving better than ever on grass.”
🇨🇳 Xinyu Wang
Xinyu Wang, a 23-year-old Chinese qualifier in the spotlight in Berlin, caused a stunning 6-3, 6-3 upset over French Open champion Coco Gauff on June 19, in the Round of 16. Wang, ranked outside the top 30, had earlier beaten Ons Jabeur and Daria Kasatkina en route to her first grass-court quarterfinal. She served at a top level against Gauff: 4 aces, 1 double fault, 70% first-serve win rate, and 2/3 on break points. Wang's 2025 season so far has been somewhat turbulent (12-14 overall), but a 3-1 grass record here in Berlin, including through qualifiers, is turning into a life moment for her. The other highlights of her season include a bronze medal at the mixed doubles Olympics with Zhizhen Zhang in 2024 and a semifinal appearance at the Wuhan Open. Xinhua quoted Wang after Gauff’s victory: "I’m happy I hung in there during all these tough moments" (June 19, 2025). The X posts, including @kaybudie's "I didn't see that one coming," went viral after the upset. Wang's ability to absorb and redirect pace makes her very dangerous, but she may be vulnerable to Badosa's firepower due to her lack of experience in big matches.

Paula Badosa vs Xinyu Wang Head-to-Head Statistics
This is a very young rivalry in which Badosa leads Wang 1-0, Wang having lost to Badosa 3-6, 3-6 at Wimbledon 2023 in the Round of 64. Badosa ran away with the grass-court clash; though Wang decided to play the net, reckless baseline hitting from the aggressive Badosa overwhelmed Wang into only getting 45% of her service points. Wang has definitely improved from that match, but Badosa's deep balls and power had given her an edge. Therein lies the possibility that their rematch could develop into an interesting rivalry, but at least on grass, Badosa goes into the match with experience.

Paula Badosa vs Xinyu Wang Match Prediction
The draw against Wang stands as a villa against an unrelenting momentum. A 68% win rate on first serves and conversion of 4 out of 7 break points against Navarro intimates that Badosa is in her element; moreover, her 2023 Wimbledon thrashing of Wang (6-3, 6-3) reveals she can command on grass courts. Wang's upset of Gauff, 70% first-serve win rate and 2 of 3 break points converted, is indicative of a very real threat, especially with her improved movement. Yet Badosa's experience and power should see her through after what will probably be a hard-fought set or even a tiebreak. Wang is expected to hang around in the early stages before a flurry of aggression from Badosa closes it out.
