Iga Swiatek on Tuesday in Beijing
No, Cori Gauff didn’t want to give up her winning streak without a fight. And so the newly crowned US Open winner kept all options open against Petra Martic in a dramatic match until the end, winning 7:5, 5:7 and 7:6 (2) after a playing time of 3:01 hours. . Martic served to win the match in the third set. Gauff, seeded third in Beijing, won her 14th singles match in a row. In the round of 16 it is now against Veronika Kudermetova, who won against Lesia Tsurenko 3:6, 6:0 and 6:0.
Iga Swiatek, who is once again entering a tournament as number two after a very long time, had fewer problems. Swiatek won a rain-interrupted game against Varvara Gracheva 6:4 and 6:1. In the round of 16 she will meet compatriot Magda Linette.
Aryna Sabalenka, who is competing in her first event as world number one in Beijing, also had to struggle a little. Sabalenka won against Katie Boulter 7:5, 7:6 (2) and will face Jasmine Paolini tomorrow.
