Paula Badosa, a 26-year-old Spanish tennis player, reached the US Open quarter-finals for the first time by defeating Wang Yafan, overcoming challenging humidity. This achievement follows her earlier struggles with a back injury that nearly led her to quit tennis. Badosa is the first Spanish woman to reach this stage since 2018 and will next face either defending champion Coco Gauff or Emma Navarro for a spot in the semi-finals.
