In the fourth round of the China Open women's singles, top seed Sabalenka vs. 18th seed Keys. In the first set, Sabalenka and Keys showed strong competitiveness in the first seven games, and both sides had wonderful performances of breaking and holding, and Sabalenka had a slight advantage of 4-3. Sabalenka then continued her excellent form, winning the first set 6-4 in 33 minutes with her consistent performance and strong mental quality. It is worth mentioning that Sabalenka's first-serve win rate in the first set was as high as 94%, which fully demonstrated her huge advantage in the service game.
The second set was a tense match. In the first two games, Sabalenka and Keys held serve respectively, and the situation fell into a stalemate for a while. In the 3rd and 4th games, Sabalenka showed strong offensive firepower, broke and then held serve to lead 3-1. However, Keys didn't give up easily, and she quickly adjusted her form, holding serve and breaking to tie the score at 3-3.

In this match, Sabalenka not only showed her strength as the top seed, but also extended her winning streak to 15 matches. Next, Sabalenka will face Mukhova. I believe that in the next games, Sabalenka will continue to maintain her good form and bring more exciting games to the fans. Let's look forward to her next performance at the China Open and witness the brilliant journey of this tennis superstar.
The 35-year-old veteran Zhang Shuai swept Freich 2-0 and will play Bardosa in the fifth round.
In a high-profile battle yesterday, 35-year-old Chinese veteran Zhang Shuai faced off against Fréch in the fourth round. At the beginning of the game, the two sides quickly got into the groove and started multiple shots on the baseline. With his rich experience and tenacious fighting spirit, Zhang Shuai is constantly looking for opportunities. The score of the first set was once deadlocked, and the two sides did not give in to each other. In the handling of key points, Zhang Shuai was more resolute and won the first set with difficulty 6-4. In the second set, Zhang Shuai was like a rainbow and completely controlled the rhythm of the game. She used her nimble movement and precise landing control to keep Fréch at bay. Zhang Shuai frequently played wonderful winning points and easily won the second set 6-2.
After a long 24-game losing streak, Zhang Shuai is now on a four-game winning streak, and this perseverance is admirable. It is worth mentioning that this is the third time that Zhang Shuai has reached the quarterfinals of the China Open, and she also left a brilliant mark on this court in 2016 and 2018. It was also the fifth time in her career that she reached the quarterfinals of the WTA1000 Championships, and it was not easy to achieve this feat again since 2022. Next, Zhang Shuai will face 15th seed Badosa in the round of eight. This strong matchup is full of expectations, and I believe that Zhang Shuai will continue to go all out to bring more exciting games to the audience.
Badosa defeated No. 2 seed Pegula 2-0 to reach the quarterfinals of the Chinese Open for the first time.
In the first match of the fourth round of the women's singles at the China Open, the No. 15 seed Badosa and the No. 2 seed Pegula had a fierce match. As soon as the game began, the two sides quickly got into the groove and engaged in a fierce battle on the court. Bardosa showed tenacity and skill, and she was decisive in handling key points. In the first set, the score was tight, and both sides were trying to find opportunities. In the end, Badosa took a 6-4 lead with a more consistent performance.
In the second set, Badosa was in even better form. She was in complete control of the pace of the match, whether it was serve, baseline attack or volley in front of the net, she performed very well. Pegula looked a little overwhelmed by Badosa's powerful attack, and his mistakes gradually increased. Badosa seized the opportunity and scored consecutive points to win the second set with a disparity of 6-0, thus defeating Pegula 2-0 on aggregate and reaching the last eight of the Chinese Open for the first time in his career. Badosa's hard-earned victory was a hard-earned victory, and she showed great strength and perseverance in the match. Her successful promotion also added more excitement and suspense to the women's singles field of the China Open. I look forward to her continuing to maintain her good form in the next matches and bring more exciting performances to the audience.
