US Open champion Aryna Sabalenka continues her winning streak at the Wuhan Open, adding her nineteenth consecutive victory by defeating Liudmila Samsonova with a score of 6-3, 6-2 this Thursday. This triumph secures her a place in the quarterfinals of the WTA 1000 tournament.<\/p>\n
Sabalenka’s impressive streak, who holds the top spot in the ranking, includes titles won in Wuhan in the years 2018, 2019, and 2024.<\/p>\n
Iga Swiatek, ranked second, also advanced to the next phase after defeating Belinda Bencic with a score of 7-6 (2), 6-4. Swiatek improves her personal record against Bencic to 5-1, including a straight-sets victory in the Wimbledon semifinals in July.<\/p>\n
In the quarterfinals, Sabalenka will face Elena Rybakina, who, after defeating Linda Noskova with a score of 6-3, 6-4, seeks to secure her participation in the WTA Finals event to be held in Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n
For her part, Swiatek will face Jasmine Paolini in the quarterfinals, who managed to advance after Clara Tauson withdrew from the match, when the score was 3-6, 6-1, 3-1.<\/p>\n
In other notable results, Jessica Pegula overcame a difficult start in the third set to defeat Ekaterina Alexandrova with a score of 7-5, 3-6, 6-3, securing her place in the quarterfinals. Pegula, who holds the sixth position in the ranking, had lost in the semifinals of the China Open the previous week.<\/p>\n
