Q2: WATSON, Heather (GBR) 12 78 v LARSSON, Johanna (SWE) 15 84

Heather beat Larsson in three last year.

 But I think it's Laura that has to beat her this year according to the draw I'm looking at ?

Interesting. Draw order has definitely changed.

Here is what I wrote when the original draw first came out.

Laura Robson (4) Vs Garbine Muguraza
Then either Julia Cohen or Johanna Larsson (15)
Should get through that I think if she's recovered from Guangzhou sufficiently well.

Heather Watson (12) vs WC Ran Tian
Then either Mandy Minella (6) or Camilla Giorgi

Can't see why it's changed, or why the two GB players would have had their sets of matches switched in particular.

Weird!

Addition: BBC red button Tennis still carrying the old match ups as nex for our girls.

Oh, and I see Serena & Venus have succumbed to their seasonal flu again Doubts about Azarenka playing here too.

I doubt it would change.
It's what we originally thought. Both should win those matches.

The draw I'm looking at still shows Heather v Giorgi.

 

Yes,  i.e. as per http://www.chinaopen.com.cn/en/draws.html 

And this is the one that makes sense.  The top 8 qualifying seeds would be due to play the 9 - 16 seeds.  Not seed 12 v 15, and 4 v the player who beat 6.

Bit of a shock to wake up and find Heather set point down at 3-5 30-40*, but she has at least recovered to 5-5

Even more of a shock when, according to the tournament website live scoring, Heather lost the first set 6-2 and was completely outplayed in all stats.

The live score then inexplicably changed to show a completely different set of scores and stats. Had they been following the wrong game? Heather now (apparently) taking the first set 7-5

Dodgy start by Heather, but comfortable in the end.

And under way. Laura receiving first.

Live score jumped right to Laura *1-2 and facing two break points! Then broken.

 This from the Beijing Open Live score - given the glirch mentioned earlier for Heather's game, thought I'd better mention it, in case the same thing happens again. hmm
