–

The other quarterfinalists in Beijing – from the top half of the draw – were determined on Wednesday, with No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka and local heroine Zheng Qinwen still very much in it.

They were up against a couple of dangerous Americans, but they got through.

The Cana-Kiwis, Gabriela Dabrowski and Erin Routliffe, were playing just their … second match of the tournament, 10 days into this extended WTA 1000. They were edged out. But these extended 1000s are tough on the doubles players, no doubt about it.
