Canada’s Leylah Fernandez rolled to a 6-2, 6-0 victory over Maria Sakkari of Greece at the China Open on Friday in Beijing.
Fernandez, from Laval, Que., needed just 74 minutes to complete the second-round victory at the WTA Tour’s 1000-level tournament.
The 25th-seeded Canadian will next play second-seeded American Coco Gauff, who defeated Russia’s Kamilla Rakhimova 6-4, 6-0.
Later Friday, top-seeded Gabriela Dabrowski of Ottawa and New Zealand’s Erin Routliffe were scheduled to meet American Nicole Melichar-Martinez and Russia’s Liudmila Samsonova in first-round doubles play.
