–

A second good draw for Hong Kong champion Leylah Fernandez, who was to follow up her first-round win over a wild card with a match against a Chinese qualifier.

Except Thursday was a rainout in Nanchang; second rounds and quarterfinals rescheduled for Friday.

The doubles match between Siegemund and Zvonereva and the Thai players, Kumkhum and Plipuech, did get played – indoors.

They’re pretty crafty; if the Thais managed to win, Fernandez and Taylor Townsend would have qualified for the WTA Finals. They couldn’t, and so the German-Russian team is still alive.
