Qinwen Zheng, the No 7 seed, reached the last 16 of the Western & Southern Open by beating Pole qualifier Magdalena Frech 6-1, 7-5 at the Lindner Family Tennis Center in Cincinnati on Friday afternoon.
Zheng, ranked No 7, is coming off a gold medal in women’s singles at the Paris Olympics. She understandably skipped the WTA Premier 1000 tournament in Toronto. Zheng will face Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova later on Friday at this rain-delayed Cincinnati event.
Frech, ranked No 48, got the best of Marie Bouzkova (3-6, 6-4, 6-3) in the previous round.
