Maya Joint has recorded the third top-20 win of her short career, all of which have come in 2025, at the China Open.
The 19-year-old Australian, currently sitting at a season-high ranking of No.36, defeated Russian world No.19 Diana Shnaider 7-5 6-1 at the WTA Tour event in Beijing.
It sets up a round-of-16 clash against Britain's Sonay Kartal, who enjoyed a 6-3 6-0 victory over another Aussie in Daria Kasatkina.
