Qinwen Routs Errani
Sara Errani is a former top-five player and while she has fallen off the rankings radar over the years, she has held her own on clay.
Before coming into this tournament, she had made the quarterfinal of a WTA 125 tournament as well but there she had lost to Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova. More vitally, that loss saw her win a mere one game in the encounter which would have given Qinwen a bit of an insight on how to play against Errani.
And did she take notice or what did Qinwen.
The world number 26 was on court for a mere 58 minutes to register a double-bagel over her opponent, breaking her six times from the seven opportunities she got. She saved four break-points of her own and while Qinwen won less than 50% of her second serve points, there was no looking back for her.
Can she continue with this form in round two as well?

Parry Lives Up To Favourites Billing
A 1/6 favourite going into her opening round encounter against Aurora Zantedeschi, Parry did not spend a lot of time in getting past her 603rd-ranked opponent in their opener.
In a match lasting an hour and 34 minutes, Parry got the better of her opponent’s serve on five occasions to win 6-4, 6-3 and move into the second round.
Having entered this tournament on the back of a second round appearance at Wimbledon and then again in a WTA 125 event on clay, Parry shrugged off a slow start to carve out her victory. Down 3-0 in the first set, Parry won eight of the next nine games to grab the set and go 2-0 up in the second.
She would break Zantedeschi again and while her opponent managed to pull one back, Parry managed to close out the encounter soon after that.
Parry will now hope to up the ante as she takes on a player who was only recently in the top-20 of the rankings.
Zheng v Parry Prediction and Tip
Zheng is coming off a performance of her lifetime and should start off a huge favourite against a player ranked nearly 60 places behind her. Expect her to win in two.
