Badosa has experienced a varied performance during her recent Asian swing. Following a second-round exit at the US Open, she secured a win in the China Open before being defeated by Jelena Ostapenko. Subsequently, she faced an unexpected early exit at the Japan Women's Open after losing to Antonia Ruzic.
