Venus Williams yet again proved too powerful for Aga Radwanska, beating the Pole in straight sets in the 1st round. The 35 year old American had already got the better of the former Wimbledon runner-up, twice this year at the Australian Open and Doha. Both victories however were tough 3 setters. This time round, Venus sheer weight of shot on the super-fast Wuhan hard-courts, were enough to see her advance to the 2nd rd in 2.
