Britain's Katie Boulter overcame a slow start to beat Taylor Townsend in straight sets in the second round of the China Open . After losing her first service game of the match, Boulter recovered to win 6-4 6-4 in Beijing, setting up a possible third-round meeting with fourth seed Coco Gauff . Playing her first match since making a disappointing second-round exit from the US Open in August, Boulter showed poise in the key moments to advance in an hour and 34 minutes.
She then followed up by breaking once more in Townsend's next service game before calmly closing out the set on her own delivery. Boulter applied pressure throughout the second set but failed to take break-point opportunities at 2-2 and 3-3, before finally converting to take a 5-4 lead. Once more, the 26th seed had no problem closing out, finishing the match with a powerful forehand winner.
