WTA's Wuhan Open
Swiatek defeats Frech 6-2, 6-1 to reach the final 16 at the WTA's Wuhan Open
WUHAN, China (AP) --- Iga Swiatek advanced to the round of 16 at the Wuhan Open
with a 6-2, 6-1 win over Magdalena Frech on Wednesday.
The six-time major winner started slowly against her Polish compatriot,
dropping an early service game and falling behind 2-0 before winning six
straight games to take the first set.
She continued momentum by winning four straight games to start the second set
before Frech made it 4-1.
Swiatek is seeded No. 7 in the WTA's 1,000-level event. She reached the
quarterfinals of the recent China Open in Beijing.
Swiatek next faces either Ashlyn Krueger or Lanlana Tararudee. She's in the
same quarter as top-seeded Aryna Sabalenka, who faced Ann Li later Wednesday in
a match to reach the final 16.
In other second-round matches, No. 5 Elina Svitolina had a 6-2, 5-7, 6-2 win
over Liudmila Samsonova and No. 170-ranked Sonay Kartal upset No. 9-seed
Belinda Bencic 6-0, 7-5.
