VAMOS!! @paulabadosa keeps Spain's hopes alive against Great Britain as she overcomes Harriet Dart in a three-set battle 🇪🇸 #UnitedCup
Paula Badosa was beaten by Harriett Dart in the Billie Jean King Cup Finals not that long ago and today was her revenge as she win a very tricky match in three sets 6-7(6) 7-6(5) 6-1.
Badosa and Dart played twice before this match and both times it was the Brit who won. It looked like it would happen for the 3rd time in the opening stages of the first set as Dart went up 5-2 with a double break in hand. Badosa managed to fight back and make it 5-5 only to miss out on a couple of set points at 6-5.
In the tiebreak, she found herself on the backfoot most of the time as Dart was able to get it done 8-6. The second set was another crazy one as Badosa jumped to an early lead thanks to much-improved play but threw it away a couple of times. She served for the set twice but only managed to win it 7-5 in the tiebreak.
The final set was finally the one where she outplayed her opponent easily taking it 6-2. It took a long time for Badosa to get into a good rhythm and Dart gave her a lot of trouble but in the end, she got it done. It took her three hours so she'll feel that one tomorrow.
