–

Four of the top five seeds made it to the final eight in Wuhan; only Jessica Pegula was missing.

But only No. 3 Paolini v No. 5 Zheng was a seed v seed matchup. And China is guaranteed to have a homegirl in the final.

On the Canadian side, both Dabrowki/Routliffe and Leylah Fenandez (with Aldila Sutjiadi) made the quarterfinals with Fernandez making it to the final four.
