Andy Murray and Rafael Nadal both claimed first-round victories at the China Open on Tuesday.

No. 1 seed Murray was made to fight by Andreas Seppi before winning the match 6-2, 7-5, while Nadal was in imperious form as he comfortably saw off Paolo Lorenzi to make the perfect start to his campaign.

The Spaniard, second seed for the tournament in Beijing, won the event back in 2005 and needs a good run to secure his spot at the end-of-season ATP World Tour Finals in London.

And he did not hang around, dismantling his opponent 6-1, 6-1, in just over an hour.





There were also wins for Jack Sock and Alexander Zverev.

American Sock came through against China's Ze Zhang in straight sets, 6-3, 7-5. Meanwhile, fast-improving youngster Zverev sprang a surprise by beating fourth-seeded Dominic Thiem in a final-set decider.

In the women's draw, Petra Kvitova defeated home favourite Wang Yafan in straight sets, 6-4, 6-1, to move through to the third round.

Kvitova, the tournament's 14th seed, will next face defending champion Garbine Muguruza, who beat Yulia Putintseva in two sets on Monday.

France's Alize Cornet knocked out No. 10 seed Dominika Cibulkova in three sets.

          

Recap

Nadal got off to a fast start to gain an early break on his Italian opponent in their match and never looked back. 

The favourite raced into a 3-0 lead before Lorenzi held serve for the first time in the fourth game.

Lorenzi tried to work his way back into the set, earning the chance to break back at 3-1, but Nadal, as ever, showed dogged resistance to head off the threat and hold his serve.

It took the Spaniard just 34 minutes to wrap up the opening set 6-1, leaving Lorenzi with a huge challenge to turn the tide in his favour.
