Xinhua, October 2, 2016 Adjust font size:

American Madison Keys overpowered China's Duan Yingying 6-0, 4-6, 6-1 in the pair's first-round meeting at the China Open here on Sunday.

Keys dominated in the first set with her signature offensive play at the baseline, not allowing her opponent a single game and taking the set 6-0 in just 19 minutes of play.

Duan responded with a solid second set taking it 6-4, much to the delight of the home crowd at the Diamond Court.

The No. 8 seed Keys would prove to be too much for Duan in the third set and she brought it home 6-1 to move into the second round of action. Endit
