Naomi Osaka beat Sara Bejlek 7–6(4), 6–4 in Beijing on 4 October to reach the last 16 in windy, cold conditions.
She saved four first-set set points. After losing her serve while serving for the match, Osaka broke again to finish.
Next is seventh seed Karolina Muchova, who leads their meetings 4–3 and won both encounters at Bad Homburg and Wimbledon this year.
