She will play Jelena Ostapenko or Clara Tauson in the next round.
British number one Boulter, 27, suffered a 7-6 (7-2) 6-4 defeat by Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova.

Burrage, 24, came through two qualifying rounds and beat Varvara Gracheva before facing Cristian.
She was broken for the first time when serving for the match at 5-3 in the second set, but Burrage went on to win a tie-break to secure victory.
