Swiatek improves her record against Bencic to 5-1, including a straight-sets victory in the Wimbledon semifinals in July.\n\nIn their next match, Sabalenka will face Elena Rybakina, the eighth seed, who achieved a 6-3, 6-4 victory over Linda Noskova, seeking to secure her participation in the WTA Finals event in Saudi Arabia.\n\nSwiatek&#8217;s opponent in the quarterfinals will be Jasmine Paolini, who advanced after Clara Tauson retired when she was losing 3-6, 6-1, 3-1.\n\n<p>Previously, Jessica Pegula rallied from an initial service break in the third set to beat Ekaterina Alexandrova 7-5, 3-6, 6-3, securing her place in the final eight. Pegula, the sixth seed, who lost in the semifinals of the China Open last week, tied the deciding set at 2-2 and then won four of the last five games to get the victory.<\/p>\n\nThis victory over ninth-ranked Alexandrova comes a day after Pegula needed seven match points to defeat fellow American Hailey Baptiste in the second round.\n\nThis was Pegula&#8217;s sixth consecutive match that went to three sets, and the fifth time she emerged victorious.\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>I don&#8217;t remember the last time I played two sets.
