Paula Badosa reeled off 11 of the last 12 games in a 6-4, 6-0 victory over U.S. Open finalist Jessica Pegula at the China Open on Tuesday to reach her eighth career quarterfinal at a WTA 1000-level event. From 3-1 down in the opening set, former No. 2-ranked Badosa dominated in her first ever win over third-ranked Pegula. “She’s one the of the players I never want to face — she’s very solid, hits very flat, changes very well direction,,” said Badosa, who was 0-3 previously against Pegula.
