Karolina Muchova vs Diana Shnaider — Round of 16 — Wuhan Open. Shnaider won 7-5, 6-3.

Eleventh seed Diana Shnaider reached the Wuhan Open quarterfinals with a straight-sets win over sixth-seeded Karolina Muchova. At WTA No. 14, Shnaider was ranked six places below Muchova, though the betting market made her a narrow favorite. Shnaider broke twice in each set and lost her serve only once. She broke first in game 5 of the opener. Muchova got that break back, but Shnaider broke again in the 11th game and took the set 7-5. The second set was more one-sided. Shnaider broke in game 3 for 2-1 and closed the match with another break in game 9. Muchova had one break point in that set and didn't convert it. Shnaider won 80 percent of her first-serve points in the second set and made only three unforced errors to Muchova's 11. Shnaider now leads their meetings on record 2-0. Her first win came at the same stage a year earlier, when she came from a set down at the Ningbo Open.
