Kawa vs Badosa Prediction 22 July 2026

Kawa enters the match with mixed results but has shown competitive performances on clay. The Polish player defeated Waltert (2-0) in Bastad and also earned a victory over Stefanini (2-1) at Wimbledon, although she suffered defeats against Waltert (0-2), Udvardy (1-2), and Day (0-2). Her solid baseline game and ability to extend rallies make her a challenging opponent on clay.

Badosa arrives after a strong week in Iasi, where she collected several important victories. The Spaniard defeated Kalinina (2-0), Ibrahimova (2-1), Udvardy (2-0), and Zidansek (2-1) before losing to Sherif due to retirement. Her powerful groundstrokes, aggressive mentality, and experience against top-level opponents remain her biggest advantages.

This matchup should suit Badosa, as her attacking style and ability to control rallies from the baseline can put Kawa under constant pressure. The Polish player is capable of making the match competitive, but she will need to maintain a very high level to handle Badosa's power and intensity.

Badosa has shown encouraging signs of returning to her best level and possesses a clear advantage in terms of quality and experience. If she stays physically ready, she should be able to secure another victory on clay.
