Wang Xin Yu defeated Alexandrova at Indian Wells by straight sets and will be confident of coming out on top again. With her current form, her chances of winning are pretty high. Xin Yu has won nine matches on the trot. Before arriving to make her debut here, the Chinese number three won the W100 title in Landisville in the ITF circuit. She has ridden that momentum and has dropped just one set in her two matches in Cleveland. To advance to this round, Xin Yu shocked 11th seed Jasmine Paolini by straight sets. That was her 28th win of the season and the 23rd in 34 outings on hard court. It moved her up three places to a new career-high ranking of number 53 in the live ranking.
