Paolini Ousts Swiatek in Straight Sets, Gauff Advances at Wuhan Open

On October 10, 2025, Jasmine Paolini stunned second-ranked Iga Swiatek 6-1, 6-2 to reach the Wuhan Open semi-finals, where she will face world No.3 Coco Gauff.
Iga Swiatek's 2025 season has been marked by multiple surprising defeats, while Jasmine Paolini had lost all six previous meetings with Swiatek, winning only one set before Wuhan.
Statistically, Paolini dominated by converting all six break points and finishing with 15 winners and three unforced errors in a 65-minute match against Iga Swiatek.
Aryna Sabalenka continued her Wuhan form by extending her unbeaten run to 20 matches with a straight-sets win over eighth-seeded Elena Rybakina, setting up a semi-final with America's Jessica Pegula.
Paolini's victory now positions her to strengthen her bid for the WTA Finals in Riyadh after beating Wimbledon champion Iga Swiatek, marking her as one of the tour's most dangerous players.
