Badosa earns wild card for Linz Open after Charleston run

Paula Badosa reached the round of 16 at the Charleston Open, recording back‑to‑back wins for the first time since July 2025 before falling to Anna Kalinskaya. Ranked 102, she now has a wild card into the inaugural WTA 250 event in Linz, Austria, which starts on April 6. With no ranking points to defend and a field missing several top players, the Spaniard sees the tournament as a key chance to climb back into the top 100.
