Badosa also reached the quarterfinals at the Bad Homburg Open, losing to eventual champion Diana Shnaider. She also reached the last eight at the US Open, where she lost to Emma Navarro.
The 27-year-old wrapped up her 2024 season by representing Spain in the first round of the 2024 Billie Jean King Finals against Poland. She faced former World No.1 Iga Swiatek in a singles match, ultimately losing 3-6, 7-6(5), 1-6.
The Spanish team ultimately lost 2-0 and subsequently failed to secure a spot in the quarterfinals.
