Looking at Sabalenka’s tournament history, this will be her third appearance at Wuhan. Apart from her two previous titles in 2018 and 2019, she has also won four additional WTA 1000 titles at other events. This year, she defeated Katerina Siniakova and Yulia Putintseva to advance to the second round. Importantly, she holds a 14-match winning streak at the Wuhan tournament.
