And in the women's doubles, a couple of Chinese players Zheng Saisai and Xu Yifan were looking to book thier place in the second round of the second Grand Slam of the year.

Zheng and Xu in blue are facing another Chinese Han Xinyun who teamed up with Varvara Lepchenko of the United States.

Han and Lepchenko would start well and when Han paints the line with this backhand, they hold serve and win the game.

Despite trailing, the Chinese duo stay patient and don't try to force anything, and that calm approach pays off when Han hits the net and Zheng and Xu go on to win the first set 6-4.

And the ninth seeded Chinese pair maintain their momentum in the second frame and they will close it out 6-4 and are moving on to the last 32.
