Wozniacki overcomes Siniakova in the 3rd round at the China Open

The former world number one was the favorite to advance, when she led already 3-1 in H2H matches against the Czech player. The players met in the quarterfinals in Beijing a year ago when Wozniacki managed to outplay Siniakova easily 6-2 and 6-2.

Now it was the former doubles number one, who broke her opponent's serve first and got a chance to win the first set. But she did not succeed in doing so and Wozniacki took the advantage of a set by winning it 7-5.

In the second set, it was more about Wozniacki, who was leading already 4-1. But later she struggled with converting match balls on her serve when she needed 5 of them to win the match.

Wozniacki will meet the winner of the match between Alexandrova in Kasatkina in the next round. Both are playing in a solid form, when Alexandrova defeated Halep and Kasatkina dealt with Wuhan Open champion Sabalenka.
