Cirstea Looks To Extend Her Consistent Season In Ningbo
Sorana Cirstea advanced to the second round in Ningbo after defeating qualifier Han Shi in straight sets, 6-3, 6-2. She won 84% of her first-serve points and broke her opponent five times during the match.
The victory marked her first win since reaching the fourth round at the US Open. She began her Asian swing in Wuhan last week but suffered a disappointing opening-round defeat to the inexperienced Hanyu Guo.
Cirstea has won her opening-round match in 15 events this year, including this week, and has recorded at least two victories in 12 of them. Her notable results include the title in Cluj-Napoca, semifinal appearances in Rome and Rouen, and quarterfinal runs at the French Open and in Linz.
Those results helped her reach a career-high ranking of No. 15 last month. She will now look to maintain that consistency and make another deep run in Ningbo.

Bejlek Seeks A Turnaround After Comeback Victory
Sara Bejlek produced a three-set comeback against Alycia Parks to reach the second round in Ningbo, winning 4-6, 6-3, 6-3. The Czech trailed by a set and 1-3 at one stage before fighting back to secure the victory.
Bejlek struggled with fitness issues earlier this year following her breakthrough title-winning campaign in Abu Dhabi. However, she showed signs of improvement after the grass-court season, reaching the quarterfinals in Athens and Prague and the semifinals in Cincinnati.
Her level has dipped again in recent weeks, with five defeats in her last seven matches before arriving in Ningbo. She will now aim to build on her opening-round comeback and turn her recent results around.
