Elina Svitolina advances to QF of the 2017 China Open

BEIJING, China 
Elina Svitolina scored a comfortable win against Wuhan finalist Ashleigh Barty to make her way into the third round of the China Open.

Last week in Wuhan, Barty knocked out three Top 10 players to reach her first Premier 5 final, but she didn’t seem to have much in the tank against Svitolina, falling 6-2, 6-4 in an hour and 15 minutes.
