On the second day, players such as Naomi Osaka, Simona Halep, Venus Williams and Angelique Kerber performed in the capital of China.
Unlike yesterday, when the second-seeded Karolina Pliskova lost her match, today the seeded players were no wrong and won their matches without major problems.
The first TOP 10 player to win her match was
Naomi Osaka, who defeated Jessica Pegula in two sets. A few minutes later, Simona Halep joined her by outplaying Rebecca Peterson.
Although
Angelique Kerber needed up to three sets for her victory against Zhang, she is also moving forward. She was joined by Sloane Stephens, who won against Magde Linette 7-5 and 6-3.
The biggest problems had a
semi-finalist from the US Open Elina Svitolina, who lost in the tie-break of the first set with Sevastova. However, she dominated the rest of the match, winning the second and third set in an hour 6-1 and 6-2.
