Overview

• The world No. 2 advanced in Beijing after winning the first set 6-0 when Camila Osorio retired, a result that marked Iga Swiatek’s 400th WTA career victory.
• Swiatek called the schedule "pretty crazy" and said she might forgo required events to protect her health.
• WTA rules require top players to enter all four Grand Slams, 10 WTA 1000 events including Beijing, plus six 500-level tournaments.
• AFP reported five retirements on Monday at the China Open, including Zheng Qinwen and Lois Boisson, with ATP player Jakub Mensik also stopping mid-match.
• Swiatek next faces Emma Navarro in the round of 16, with her workload of roughly 70-plus singles matches this season underscoring her fatigue concerns.
