In 2nd round, Zheng and Vliegen defeated second-seeded Jean-Julien Rojer and Demi Schuurs from the Netherlands 6-4, 7-5.
"Tennis in China is in a period of rising. I have prepared for the next hard court season," Zheng said.
On super Monday, fourth-seeded Xu Yifan from China and Gabriela Dabrowski from Canada reached the 4th round of the women's doubles, beating 13th-seeded Duan Yingying and Zheng from China 5-7, 6-4, 6-1.
