Summary
- Badosa aims to overcome Dart for a Guangzhou Open semifinal spot.
- Dart leads their head-to-head series 2-1.

Paula Badosa is slated to compete against Harriet Dart in the quarterfinals of the Guangzhou Open on Friday, October 30, 2026. Badosa, currently ranked World No. 61, has re-entered the top 100 and is seeking to extend her run in this WTA 250 event. She has navigated through earlier rounds with commanding victories.
Harriet Dart, ranked World No. 115, has had a more demanding path to the quarterfinals, surviving multiple three-set battles. Despite Dart's 2-1 lead in their previous encounters, Badosa is favored to win this match due to her superior baseline power and tactical approach on the hard court surface. The physical toll on Dart from her prior matches is expected to be a significant factor.
Predictions suggest Badosa will win in straight sets, though Dart is known for her ability to disrupt opponents' rhythm. Betting tips indicate the match will feature at least 19 games, with no tiebreaks anticipated.
