With her 5-2 double break lead erased, the No. 6 seed survived in a decisive tiebreak on her seventh match point.
We're down to the final 8 at the Wuhan Open, led by Top 10 players Aryna Sabalenka, Iga Swiatek, Coco Gauff, Jessica Pegula, Jasmine Paolini and Elena Rybakina. There's plenty on the line in the home stretch of the final WTA 1000 tournament of 2025.
Pegula, seeded at No. 6, trailed 2-5 early on to ninth-seeded Ekaterina Alexandrova but took the next five games to seal the opening set with a 7-5 scoreline. Up by a set, the American tennis star failed to get the job done in two sets, but ultimately managed to complete a 7-5 3-6 6-3 win in just over two hours of play.
