Diana Shnaider has advanced to the third round of the 2026 China Open, joining fellow Russian Mirra Andreeva in the tournament's later stages, according to TASS.
The 11th-seeded Shnaider, who is competing under a neutral status at the tournament, defeated her unseeded Indonesian opponent 6-0, 6-4.
Strong start in Beijing
The straight-sets win continues a competitive run for Shnaider at the hard-court event, with the first set result in particular reflecting a dominant performance against her opponent.
Russian and Belarusian players have continued to compete at many international tennis events under neutral status, a designation introduced following restrictions imposed after Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Shnaider and Andreeva's progress to the third round sets up the possibility of both players advancing further in the draw as the tournament continues in Beijing.
