Chinese Zhu, ranked 219th in the world, came back to win against Brit Emma Raducanu on Tuesday (October 14), and once again recovered from a set down in her second round match. Andreeva, 18, a semi-finalist at Roland-Garros last year, came out on top in straight sets when she played Zhu at the Chinese Open in September, but could not repeat that performance in Ningbo. Elsewhere on centre court, seventh seed Diana Shnaider came back to beat Karolina Muchova in three sets, 2-6 6-1 6-2. The 21-year old will face Zhu in the Quarter Finals.
