On Tuesday, Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus carries a 9-match winning streak into her quarterfinal battle with Qinwen Zheng of China at Arthur Ashe Stadium in Flushing Meadows, Queens, New York. Buoyed by her title-clinching run in Cincinnati two weeks ago, Sabalenka has continued her fine form through the first four rounds of the 2024 US Open championship, beating all her opponents by more than six games. Sabalenka opened her campaign with a bang, routing Priscilla Hon of Australia 6-3, 6-3. She then proceeded to decimate Lucia Bronzetti of Italy 6-3 6-1, Ekaterina Alexandrova of Russia 2-6 6-1 6-2 and Elise Mertens of Belgium 6-2 6-4 to secure her spot in the last eight. Zheng made it two in a row against Donna Vekic, beating the Croatian for the second time in just over month 7-6, 4-6, 6-2 in the final fourth-round match slated on Sunday. Zheng, who delivered China’s first-ever Olympic gold in women’s singles, has won 15 of her last 16 games, adding another layer of intrigue to her quarterfinal duel with Sabalenka.
