Sabalenka and Muchova are on the Qf ( Top Half Day ) Schedule at China Open 2024 on Friday, 4 October 2024. Lets breakdown the career, past stats and recent form of these players and predict who will get the victory.

Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?

In today’s quarterfinal match at the Beijing tournament, Aryna Sabalenka, ranked number 2 in the world, will be facing Karolina Muchova, ranked number 49. Muchova currently leads the head-to-head record between the two players with 2 wins to Sabalenka’s 1.

Sabalenka is aiming to win her 50th match of the year, which would place her behind only World No. 1 Iga Swiatek who has 57 wins. She is also leading the Tour in hard-court match wins with 33 victories. If Sabalenka wins today, it will mark her eighth semifinal appearance of the year and fourth at a WTA 1000 event. Notably, every time she has reached the semifinals of a WTA 1000 event this year, she has gone on to reach the final.

Sabalenka is currently on a 15-match win streak, having won titles at Cincinnati and the US Open. This win streak matches her previous career best of 15 consecutive victories when she won titles at Ostrava, Linz, and Abu Dhabi. Additionally, Sabalenka has won four career titles in Asia, with her most recent victories being at Wuhan and Zhuhai in 2019. She is looking to defeat Muchova for the first time since her title run at the 2019 Zhuhai tournament.

In terms of performance statistics, Sabalenka is currently second on the Tour in Service Games Won (80.2%), Service Points Won (63.6%), and third in aces (277).

On the other hand, Muchova is making her second main draw appearance at the Beijing tournament. She has won her first matches here this year to reach the quarterfinals. In their previous two meetings, Muchova has emerged as the winner, with both matches going to a third deciding set. Throughout this year, Muchova has a record of 1-3 against Top 10 players, with her win coming against Jasmine Paolini at the US Open. It was her first Top 10 win since her victory over Sabalenka at the 2023 Cincinnati tournament. Muchova holds a record of 4-2 against players ranked in the Top 2, with her losses only coming against World No. 1 Iga Swiatek.

This is Muchova’s second career WTA 1000 quarterfinal, as she finished as the runner-up at the 2023 Cincinnati tournament. Last year, Muchova was ranked No. 9 at this time but was unable to compete in the Asian swing or any tournaments after the US Open due to an injury.

In terms of their tournament history, Sabalenka is making her fourth appearance at the Beijing tournament, reaching the quarterfinals for the third time. Muchova, on the other hand, is making her second appearance, having fallen in the first round in 2019.

Overall, Sabalenka has had a successful year so far with 49 wins, ranking her second on the Tour in terms of match wins. Muchova, currently ranked No. 49, has had a notable record against Top 10 and Top 2 players in her career.
