The victory marks a significant step in the Spaniard’s recovery from injuries that have derailed her career in recent seasons. The former world No. 2 has been working her way back up the rankings through the secondary circuit after falling out of the elite bracket.

The Båstad title is her most important result in that rebuilding process to date.

Badosa reached a career-high ranking of No. 2 before physical setbacks interrupted her trajectory at the top of the sport.
