Badosa-Halep | Schedule and where to watch the Wimbledon round of 16

The Spanish Paula Badosa faces this Monday in the round of 16 the Romanian former number one in the world Simona Halep. The Spanish, who has shown great tennis throughout the tournament, wants to continue progressing against a rival who is experiencing a second youth in the London tournament.

Badosa will need the great winning mentality that she showed last Saturday against Petra Kvitova, whom she defeated in two very close sets. That match must be a great apprenticeship for the Manhattan born, since she was facing a double Wimbledon winner.

That match should have been a turning point in the confidence of the Spanish player, who is facing a great opportunity to do something great at Wimbledon, since most of the a priori favorites have been failing in recent days and are deleted.

Her rival, Simona Halep, has nothing to do with Kvitova, who is stronger on serve. The Romanian is a tough rival, who does not give up a ball for lost and who counts on her effort as the main weapon. If Badosa wants to achieve victory she will have to be very firm again with her serve, as she was against the Czech player. Halep, who was No. 1 in 2017 and won Wimbledon in 2019, is now, at the age of 30, ranked No. 18.

The match between Halep and Badosa will be played this Monday no earlier than 4:30 p.m. on center court. The match can be followed through the Movista Vamos channel and the La Vanguardia website will offer live and online monitoring of everything that happens at the event.
