The 21-year-old Gauff has been dominant in her three victories so far in Wuhan, dropping just 9 games in total against Laura Siegemund, Zhang Shuai, and Moyuka Uchijima.

However, Paolini produced a stunning performance in the quarterfinals, beating second-seeded Iga Swiatek 6-1, 6-2 in just over an hour.
