–
The Cana-Kiwis – Dabrowski and Routliffe, got into action in Beijing after a first-round bye.
At No. 10 in the race to Cancun they’re still right in there. But they were just passed by Ningbo champions Zvonareva and Siegemund, who follow them onto the court Tuesday. And they lost their opener.
The seeds all look to have winnable matches, but watch out for the quick turnaround for Ningbo champ Ons Jabeur and Tokyo champ Veronika Kudermetova (who already played doubles on Monday). In the end, Jabeur is out.
(Beijing is 12 hours ahead of ET).
