Halep took a while to get going in the first set, but she defeated Shuai Zhang in the second round in straight sets. Simona Halep defeated Zhang 6-4, 6-2 in one hour and twelve minutes after defeating Donna Vekic in the first round with just two games lost. With two service breaks, the former world number one jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the opening set. Although Zhang did recover both of the breaks to tie the match at 4-4, Halep returned to break Zhang in the ninth game. But this time, she served it out in order to win the set. Help did not give Zhang any such latitude for a comeback in the second. After being broken early once more, Halep held on to her serve before allowing two breaks of serve to complete her 18th victory on a hard court this year, giving her a total of five losses.
When Jil Teichmann eliminated world number two Anett Kontaveit from the Canadian Open competition, it was the biggest shock of the second round of matches. The Swiss player, who had earlier defeated Venus Williams in her opening round, defeated Kontaveit 6-4, 6-4 to advance quickly to the third round. In the first set, Teichmann broke early before being broken again to even the score at 3-3. After that, Teichmann defeated her Estonian opponent once more, but this time she managed to hold on to her serve to take the lead. In the second set, Kontaveit jumped off to an early 2-0 lead but lost her serve in games three and five. After that, Teichmann didn’t encounter a single break point, completing the victory after earlier triumphs in Dubai and Doha.
