Badosa started the game like a cyclone. She gave her rival no choice. Two service breaks to her rival gave her a sufficient advantage to put the first set on track and take it by a resounding 6-1 in 27 minutes.

Badosa will next play Croatia’s Ana Konjuh, who beat Colombia’s Mara Camila Osorio, in the final.

Badosa and Konjuh met in the first qualifying round of the Madrid Open in 2015, with the Spaniard winning 6-3, 6-3.

Badosa will be contesting her first final of her WTA career. She had previously reached the semifinals in Madrid, Charleston and Lyon this year.
