Paula Badosa's resurrection continues.
Having come close to retirement in March due to serious physical problems with her back, the 26-year-old is now enjoying a string of fine performances.
Since the start of the American season, Badosa has claimed a title (Washington), a semi-final (Cincinnati) and a quarter-final (US Open).
Arriving in Beijing in very positive form, the Spaniard didn't miss a beat.
After two easy opening wins, she has just given world number 3 and US Open finalist Jessica Pegula a real tennis lesson (6-4, 6-0).
More impressive than ever, she continues her superb comeback and will now try to secure her place in the final four of the tournament against a certain Shuai Zhang.
Badosa, Paula
Pegula, Jessica
Zhang, Shuai
But I'm suspicious as to how she started winning after going through injury problems and contemplating retirement without getting any surgery done
