All draws are not created equal. Which is why one second-round match in Ningbo is Diana Shnaider vs. Karolina Muchove. And another is … qualifier Ajla Tomljanovic vs. qualifier Zeynep Sonmez.
But you have to play it as it goes.
Meanwhile, top seed and defending champion Mirra Andreeva gets into action for the first time – not against Emma Raducanu, as you might have expected, but against wild card Zhu Lin.
