Русская версия:

Швейцарская теннисистка Белинда Бенчич, занимающая 15-ю строчку в мировом рейтинге, успешно преодолела второй раунд престижного турнира WTA 1000 в Ухане, Китай.

Её соперница, бельгийская теннисистка Элизе Мертенс (21-я ракетка мира), не смогла выйти на матч, предположительно из-за проблем со здоровьем, что привело к её отказу от дальнейшего участия в соревновании.

В следующем, третьем круге турнира Бенчич предстоит серьёзное испытание – встреча со второй ракеткой мира, полькой Игой Швёнтек.
