–

Two more singles quarterfinals as the scant pointy-end of this extended WTA 1000 comes to the final days.

No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka took on arguably the most dangerous unseeded player around these days, Karolina Muchova. And she had to take the L.

And Mirra Andreeva, who’s been quiet of late, emerged to take on local heroine Zheng Qinwen but didn’t have quite enough, in the end.
