BEIJING, Oct. 2 -- Round two at the ongoing China Open here on Tuesday saw all top-10 players in action advancing and mixed results for local players.
Chinese wildcard Wang Qiang scored a double-bagel 6-0, 6-0 victory over an injured world No. 12 Jelena Ostapenko to advance to the third round.
Wang, who withdrew from the just-concluded Wuhan Open with an injury herself, won a stellar 83 percent of her first service points, converted six of her seven break points and fired three aces on the way to the victory.
Her Latvian opponent had a very rough time on court, coughing up 34 unforced errors and committing 10 double faults. Wang broke every single one of her service games and never faced break point herself.
Wang will face the winner of tomorrow's match between world No. 7 Karolina Pliskova and Belarussian player Aliaksandra Sasnovich in the round of 16.
Not all local favorites had such an easy time today. Chinese wildcard Zheng Saisai crashed out, going down 6-1, 6-3 to no. 9 seed Sloane Stephens of the United States.
Clearly eager to bounce back from an early exit at last week's Wuhan Open, Stephens raced into a 2-0 lead out of the gate.
Though Zheng logged a few nice baseline winners, the Shaanxi native had several unforced errors, twice volleying into the net from close range when it seemed easier to hit a winner.
Stephens showed greater consistency and the American never really looked threatened as she closed out the match in one hour 35 minutes.
