WUHAN, China: Ukrainian teen Dayana Yastremska scored the first top-10 win of her career at the Wuhan Open on Wednesday over world number two Karolina Pliskova, declaring herself one of the young talents making a splash on tour this season.
Pliskova's exit temporarily takes the pressure off world number one Ashleigh Barty, who can hold onto her top ranking for at least one more week now that her nearest rival was unable to reach the semi-finals in Wuhan. Meanwhile, third-seeded Elina Svitolina said she is happy to have put her early-season woes behind her as she secured passage to the quarter-finals with a 6-4, 6-2 rout of Russian qualifier Svetlana Kuznetsova.
Aryna Sabalenka squandered a 6-1, 5-1 lead before recovering to complete a tricky 6-1, 7-6 dismissal of sixth-seed Kiki Bertens.
