The game lasted just 1h17 minutes, and the result guaranteed a place in the semifinals in the Chinese capital.
Thus, the victory also served as a revenge for Luísa Stefani, who had lost to Siegemund and Zvonareva in the semi-final in New York. Namely, on that occasion, she acted alongside American Jennifer Brady.
