I would bet this at a book if Badosa retires pays out
Badosa has been on a serious health battle for over a year now and can't seem to get back. She reinjured herself 2 matches ago and seems to be trying to overcome it. She just split with her BF so emotional state is questionable. 2 wins in 8 but I cant give much credit for either. Coming off a loss to world 89 where she gave up 19 break point chances, looked to not have the fitness and only won 57% first serve and 38% second serve.
Meanwhile andreeva is a hungry teenager aged 17. She's full of life and improving every time I watch her. She beat 3 top players last week in Madrid only losing to Sabalenka. She should have far too much pace, fitness and defence for Badosa and I think will simply want it more.
