25th seed Wei Sijia lost 1-6, 5-7 to Dmitruk, suffering eight consecutive defeats since Austin in February, and a win on clay this year has been hard to come by. At the beginning of this year, Wei Sijia broke through from the qualifying rounds of the Australian Open, WTA 250 Singapore and WTA 250 Austin to the main draw, and made her debut WTA1000 in Indian Wells in March this year, reaching a personal high of No. 114 in the world ranking at the end of March. However, Wei Sijia's good momentum was interrupted by injury, as she suffered a wrist injury in Antalya and returned home to play after a month's rest, but she was never able to regain her rhythm and form on clay.
