Sijsling, Wang advance at Malaysian Open

Sijsling needed only 50 minutes to beat Malaysia's top-ranked player Ariez Elyaas Deen Heshaam 6-2, 6-1 at Kuala Lumpur's Putra Stadium. He will face either Feliciano Lopez or Lukas Lacko of Slovakia in the second round.

Wang beat Riccardo Ghedin of Italy 6-3, 6-3, maintaining his strong play during a year in which he qualified for the main draw at Wimbledon and reached the second round at the U.S. Open.
