BEIJING — Naomi Osaka maintained her strong form since winning the U.S. Open by reaching the China Open quarterfinals by crushing Julia Goerges 6-1, 6-2 on Thursday. But she broke Goerges’ serve in the next game and raced to 5-0. Osaka won four consecutive points on Goerges’ serve to open the second set and rolled on. This is Osaka’s second tournament since she defeated Serena Williams in the U.S. Open final on Sept. 8. In the first last week, she got to the Pan Pacific Open final in Tokyo.
