Chinese tennis players Yuan Yue and Wei Sijia were both eliminated in straight sets in the women's singles second round at the 2024 China Open on Saturday.

The 30th-seeded Yuan was defeated by Karolina Muchova of the Czech Republic 6-3, 6-1. US Open semifinalist Muchova, 28, dominated the match and clinched the victory in one hour and 20 minutes.

Wildcard player Wei lost to 13th-seeded Beatriz Haddad Maia of Brazil 7-5, 6-4. The 20-year-old Wei claimed the first win in her career at the tournament after beating Elena-Gabriela Ruse of Romania in the first round.

Wei showed good form at the beginning of Saturday's game and once took the lead, but the Brazilian overturned the momentum gradually to take the upper hand.
