WUHAN – Canada’s Bianca Andreescu and China’s Yue Yuan advanced to the women’s doubles quarterfinals at the Wuhan Open without striking a ball Thursday.
Top-seeded Italians Jasmine Paolini and Sara Errani withdrew before their match, giving Andreescu and Yuan a walkover victory.
Paolini later reached the singles quarterfinals after her opponent, Denmark’s Clara Tauson, retired while trailing 3-6, 6-1, 3-1.
Andreescu, of Mississauga, Ont., and Yuan will next face Kazakhstan’s Anna Danilina and Serbia’s Aleksandra Krunic, the No. 8 seeds.
Meanwhile, Leylah Fernandez of Laval, Que., and partner Erin Routliffe of New Zealand were eliminated in the round of 16 on Thursday after falling 4-6, 6-4, 10-4 to Linda Noskova of the Czech Republic and Rebecca Sramkova of Slovakia.
Routliffe, who lives in Montreal, regularly plays with another Canadian, Gabriela Dabrowski of Ottawa — the pair won the U.S. Open women’s doubles title last month.
