The Spaniard only needed 53 minutes this Thursday Paula Badosa to prevail by 6-0 and 6-3 in american Louis Chirico and qualify for the quarterfinals of WTA 500 tournament in San Diego.
Badosa, number four in the world and second favorite on the Californian cement, made his debut with an authoritative victory over Chirico, number 196 in the ranking, whom he has already beaten this season at the Wimbledon tournament.
The Spanish player recovered after a very difficult period, where he fell in the first round in Toronto, Cincinnati, Tokyo and Ostrava where he did not go beyond the second round at the US Open.
The last time he played a quarterfinal was in San José, a tournament that would end for him in the semifinals.
His start was undefeated and Badosa won the first set 6-0 losing only seven points.
He had a little more trouble in the second set, when he gave up his serve twice in his first three at-bats, but his aggressiveness on the return allowed him to sentence the match on the fast track with 6 -3.
Badass will be measured this Friday, in the match that will close the central program, with the American Danielle Collinsa player living in a good moment of form.
Number 19 in the world, she eliminated French Caroline García with authority in the first round and defeated Italian Martina Trevisan in the second. This will be the first confrontation between the two players.
