This victory secures her a place in the quarterfinals of the WTA 1000 tournament.\n\nSabalenka&#8217;s impressive streak includes titles won in Wuhan in 2018, 2019, and 2024, demonstrating her dominance in this prestigious event.\n\nIga Swiatek, ranked second, also advanced to the next round after a 7-6 (2), 6-4 victory over Belinda Bencic. Swiatek improves her record against Bencic to 5-1, including a straight-sets win in the Wimbledon semifinals in July.\n\nIn the quarterfinals, Sabalenka will face Elena Rybakina, the eighth seed, who secured her place by defeating Linda Noskova with a score of 6-3, 6-4. Rybakina seeks to secure her place in the WTA Finals to be held in Saudi Arabia.\n\nJasmine Paolini will be Swiatek&#8217;s rival in the quarterfinals, after Clara Tauson retired from the match when the score was 3-6, 6-1, 3-1 in favor of Paolini.\n\nPreviously, Jessica Pegula managed to come back from an initial break 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, sixth seed, who lost in the semifinals of the China Open last week, tied the decisive set at 2-2 and then won four of the last five games to secure the victory.\n\nThis victory over Alexandrova, who is in ninth place, came a day after Pegula needed seven match points to overcome Hailey Baptiste in the second round.\n\nThis was Pegula&#8217;s sixth consecutive match that went to three sets, being 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.
