Potapova, seeded 27th, mounted a stout defence to fend off 10 of 13 break points and grinned widely as she fired down an unreturnable serve to secure the win and set up a meeting with China's Zheng Qinwen.
Potapova regained her composure in the second set and pummelled her opponent with her mighty forehand as she broke serve in the penultimate game. She failed to earn a single break point as Potapova dropped only one first-serve point and won the final five games.Canadian fifth seed Felix Auger-Aliassime unleashed a dozen aces to edge out Brazilian Thiago Monteiro 7-6 7-6 and set up a third-round meeting with last year's semi-finalist Francisco Cerundolo of Argentina.
