If last January Paula Badosa won his first match in a final phase of a Grand Slam, when he advanced to the second round of the Australian Open, today he has again broken the same barrier, but this time in the track 4 of Roland Garros. The tennis player from Girona, currently at 87th place in the WTA rankings, has got rid of the Ukrainiansa Kateryna Kozlova.
Badosa, junior champion of this same tournament five years ago now, has needed a little over two hours and the dispute of three sets to claim a hard-fought victory: 2-6, 6-4 and 3-6. His rival for a place in the third round will be the American Sloane Stephens, number 34 in the world, and who has just eliminated the Russian Vitalia Diatchenko.
