Karolina Muchova has proven on several occasions to be a rival no one wants to face, especially on the big stages. Now the Czech defeated none other than the top seed and recent US Open champion, Aryna Sabalenka. Sabalenka's streak of 15 consecutive victories came to an end, leaving her tantalizingly close to reaching a new final. Muchova fought with all her weapons, took the lead in the first set, and then came back from 2-4 down in the third. Meanwhile, the Belarusian did not feel comfortable on the court against a rival who evaded her powerful shots to become the first semifinalist of the WTA Beijing (7-6(5) 2-6 6-4). Now, Muchova awaits either Andreeva or Zheng, while Sabalenka has managed to inch closer to Iga Swiatek in the rankings.
