MATCH POINTS

Schmiedlova and Anisimova meet for the first time, as do Tomljanovic and Hsieh.

Diyas has won her two previous meetings with Zhang, both of which have been in the last year. In Shenzhen earlier this year, she won 6-3, 6-7(5), 6-4; in Tokyo last year she won in straight sets, 6-4, 6-2.

Linette leads her head-to-head with Wang 3-1 - but the Chinese player won their most recent clash, earlier this year in the Nanchang semifinal, 7-5, 6-2.
