CHENGDU, July 31 (Xinhua) -- In the Chengdu Universiade on Monday, both Zheng Wushuang in the women's singles and Liu Hanyi in the men's singles advanced to the third round.
Zheng defeated Czech Republic's Anastasia Polach 6-0, 6-2 in one hour and 11 minutes on the center court. "The enthusiastic audience gave me so much support. I want to go as far as I can, but I should focus on the next round first," said Zheng.

"My strategy worked. I told myself to stay patient, waiting for my opponent to make mistakes, and I took the chance," said Liu.
