World number 26 Paula Badosa of Spain has stunned American sixth seed Coco Gauff to book a place in the fourth round at the Madrid Open.
The Spaniard won 6-3 6-0 in 71 minutes to reach the Round of 16 in her nation’s capital for the second time in her career.
This makes it her third career win over last year’s Roland Garros finalist Gauff
"I'm proud of myself," Badosa said, after her win.
"Matches like this ... in this court with all the crowd supporting you, it makes me feel like everything, it's worth it."
