Gauff Seeks to Extend Dominant Run at Wuhan Open

On Friday, October 6, 2025, rising American tennis star Coco Gauff will take on experienced German player Laura Siegemund in the quarterfinals of the Wuhan Open. Gauff, currently ranked among the top 5 players on the women's tour, has been in impressive form lately. After reaching the finals in Madrid and Rome earlier this year, she claimed the title in Paris. Last week, Gauff made it to the semifinals in Beijing, making amends for her fourth-round exit at the US Open.

Gauff has been dominant in Wuhan so far, cruising past her opponents in the initial rounds without dropping a set. In contrast, Siegemund is one of the most experienced players on tour. Despite early exits in Melbourne and New York, she reached the quarterfinals at Wimbledon. The German pro has also been excellent in Wuhan, defeating Dayana Yastremska and Mirra Andreeva before overcoming Magdalena Frech in the previous round.

The head-to-head between Gauff and Siegemund is tied at 1-1, with Gauff winning their most recent encounter at the 2023 US Open. Gauff is known for her athleticism and defensive skills, but she will need to develop a killer instinct to win matches on her own terms. Siegemund, on the other hand, is expected to approach the match with a well-crafted strategy, hoping to pull off an upset against the in-form American.
