Britain's Sonay Kartal beat ninth seed Belinda Bencic 6-0 7-5 to reach the Wuhan Open third round. Bencic, world No 12, had the seeding that keeps top players apart early. Kartal swept the opener, then won the tighter second. She next faces Jasmine Paolini or Nikola Bartunkova for a quarter-final place.
