Podoroska, who is ranked 84th in the WYA ranking, had lost to the Spanish Nuria Párrizas (134th) by 7-5, 6-7 (4) and 6-3. However, Badosa’s subsequent dismissal allowed him to take her place.
In the first round, the woman from Rosario will face the American Ashlyn Krueger, 19 years old and number 71 in the classification.
