Nanchang, Jiangxi, China, 27 July 2017 | AAP
A day after shocking defending champion Duan Ying-Ying in the first round, Arina Rodionova has marched on at the Jiangxi Open in China.
The 27-year-old beat hometown hope Liu Fangzhou 6-4 6-2 to advance to her first WTA quarterfinal.
There she will face Han Xinyun – her third Chinese opponent in a row – after Han beat fourth seed Wang Qiang in three sets.

— Novak Djokovic (@DjokerNole) July 26, 2017
Djokovic’s announcement was today and I was happy to hear that he decided to pack it in for the season. Obviously, as a fan, I will miss his tennis but this break is so long overdue that it needs to be this long.
Enough is enough. It is better to do a Federer now and come back in 2018 fresh and 100% healthy. No more unnecessary risks with his all-important health. Health always comes first especially for an athlete because without it, you are on the sidelines.
That is the hard lesson Djokovic had to learn because by not taking a break after he won the personal slam he has pretty much wasted a year on tour and now he has to take an added five months off. His ranking will fall but that is of least importance now.
Pragmatic to a fault, Novak Djokovic made the right call in ending his 2017 season, writes Ed McGrogan.
The ailing 12-time Grand Slam champion deserves the benefit of the doubt.
