–

Six of the top eight seeds have made the final eight in Wuhan. And you love to see it.

Compelling: Aryna Sabalenka v Elena Rybakina, who are meeting for the 1th time with Sabalenka holding a 7-5 lead. They’ve met on a lot of big occasions – the first time came in Wuhan, in 2019, when neither was what they later became and Sabalenka (seeded No. 9) beat Rybakina (unseeded) in three sets.

Eight of their meetings have gone the distance.

And let’s see what kind of mind games the .. crafty Laura Siegemund can come up with against Coco Gauff.

(Wuhan is 12 hours ahead of EDT)
