It was the first duel ever on the WTA tour between Iga Swiatek and Magda Linette. And it didn't last long. The world number two won confidently 6:1 and 6:1 and will face either Carolina Garcia or Anhelina Kalinina in the quarter-finals in Beijing.
Jelena Ostapenko, who still has a very small chance of qualifying for the WTA Finals in Cancun, caused a little surprise. Ostapenko won against fourth-seeded Jessica Pegula 6:4 and 6:2. The 2017 Franch Open winner's next opponent will be Liudmilla Samsonova from Russia. Samsonova won a close match against Marta Kostyuk 6:4, 6:7 (4) and 7:5.
