Badosa awaits in the last eight

Her next opponent is fifth seed Paula Badosa of Spain, who looked sharp in her own first-round win. Badosa beat Austria’s Sinja Kraus 6-1, 6-4 in 67 minutes.

Elsewhere on the draw, China’s Han Shi beat Ukraine’s Dayana Yastremska 7-5, 6-4. Czech Katerina Siniakova came from a set down to beat third seed Lanlana Tararudee of Thailand 2-6, 6-1, 6-4 in the last first-round match of the day.
