Tien defeats Navone in Hangzhou

2-1

Learner Tien advanced to the round of 32 at the Hangzhou Open with a three-set victory over Mariano Navone on Wednesday, winning 2-1 in sets on the hard courts. The first-round result keeps Tien's tournament alive as he looks to build on his hard-court form, while Navone, the clay-court specialist, was unable to convert on the faster surface.

  • Advanced in straight sets
