REUTERS: Russia's Ekaterina Alexandrova upset sixth seed Simona Halep in straight sets in the second round of the China Open on Monday, recording a 6-2 6-3 win in Beijing for her first top-10 victory of the season.
Halep showed no signs of the injury in her first-round straight-sets victory over qualifier Rebecca Peterson but admitted she now needed to take a break from the tour to fully recover. Fifth seed Bianca Andreescu survived a second-set onslaught from Aliaksandra Sasnovich to win her first match since her U.S. Open triumph. Her 6-2 2-6 6-1 victory over the Belarusian set up a third-round clash with Elise Mertens.A poor service game from Andreescu, which included six double faults, gave Sasnovich 16 break points but the unseeded 25-year-old was able to convert only four.
