World number four Agnieszka Radwanska defeated Ekaterina Makarova of Russia 6-4 6-1 to reach the third round of the Wuhan Open Tuesday.

Radwanska could next meet an in-form Caroline Wozniacki in the third round at the $2.6 million hard court event. The former world number one, Wozniacki knocked out the Pole in the semi-finals of the Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo last week in three tightly fought sets, en route to her first title of the year. 

Wozniacki meets qualifier Katerina Siniakova in the second round later Tuesday. Italy's Roberta Vinci, ranked 15, was ousted by Yaroslava Shvedova after a close first set, 7-5, 6-2 the second time this year she has lost to the Kazakh. Meanwhile, American Madison Brengle fell to 10th-ranked Svetlana Kuznetsova of Russia 6-0, 6-4.
