WUHAN, China (AP) — Fifth-seeded Ukrainian tennis player Elina Svitolina outplayed Chinese wild-card entry Guo Hanyu 6-1, 6-4 on Thursday, advancing to the quarterfinals of the Wuhan Open. Svitolina broke Guo's serve at the start and finish of the match, clinching victory. Last week, Svitolina faced a quarterfinal exit at the China Open, losing to eventual champion Zheng Qinwen.
Guo, making her first top-20 appearance, rallied from a set down and saved triple match point in the second-set tiebreak to upset 12th-seeded Sorana Cirstea.
