Sabalenka Extends Winning Streak, Advances to Wuhan Open Semifinals

On October 10th, 2025, Aryna Sabalenka continued her dominant run at the Wuhan Open, extending her unbeaten streak at the tournament to 20 matches. The world No. 1 defeated Elena Rybakina 6-3 6-3 in the quarterfinals, improving her head-to-head record against the Kazakh player to 8-5.

Sabalenka, who won the Wuhan title in 2018-19 and again last year after the tournament's return following the Covid pandemic, broke Rybakina's serve in the eighth game of the opening set to take control of the match. The Belarusian then broke Rybakina's serve to start the second set and closed out the victory despite a few late service wobbles.

Up next for Sabalenka is a semifinal clash with American Jessica Pegula, who came from behind to beat Czech Katerina Siniakova 2-6 6-0 6-3 for her 50th match win of the season. Sabalenka has won 8 of her 10 previous meetings with Pegula, including victories in the 2024 US Open final and semifinals.
