No. 2 seed Wang Qiang made a perfect start against Australia's Arina Rodionova, moving into the second round with a 6-3, 6-4 victory. Wang will meet British player Heather Watson next.

Zheng Saisai and Duan Yingying, who have achieved good results in doubles this year, competed with each other in the singles. Zheng won the match 7-6 (4), 6-2 to face Russia's Veronika Kudermetova in the last 16.
