Fourth seed Coco Gauff committed 21 double faults, the most by any player in a main-draw match this season, squandering a one-set lead and allowing top seed Aryna Sabalenka to advance to the Wuhan Open final. The Belarusian’s dominance in the Chinese city continues, as she has now won 16 consecutive matches at the WTA 1000 event, remaining undefeated at the tournament she’s claimed twice before.
Gauff dominated the early stages, winning the first set 6-1 and leading 4-2 in the second before her serve fell apart.
