After a solid showing at the Charleston Open, where Badosa beat Kayla Day and Maria Sakkari before falling to Anna Kalinskaya, the Spaniard was granted a wild card entry into the inaugural Linz Open. The WTA 250 event, held in Austria from April 6 to 12, offers Badosa a chance to regain momentum and move back into the top‑100 rankings.
With her ranking at No.102 and only eight top‑40 players in the draw, the tournament presents a favorable opportunity for Badosa to string together a series of wins. She joins fellow wild‑card recipients Mirra Andreeva and Lilli Tagger in the field, while several top players have opted to skip the event following the Sunshine Double.
