In-form Brit Johanna Konta is through to the last 16 at the Wuhan Open in China after former world No 1 Victoria Azarenka retired during their round two clash.
Konta, who will take over as the new British No 1 from Heather Watson next week, was leading 6-4 1-0 when double Australian Open champion Azarenka pulled out with a leg injury.
World No 63 Konta has enjoyed a glorious autumn, having recently reached the fourth round at the US Open, beating Wimbledon finalist Garbine Muguruza on the way.
She has now won 20 of her last 21 matches since losing to Maria Sharapova at Wimbledon.
