By the numbers: Sabalenka coasts in Cincinnati third round in 54 minutes
The last time Aryna Sabalenka played Wang Xinyu — four years ago at the Australian Open — she was pushed all the way. She lost the first set 6-1 before rallying for victory in that match.
The story couldn't have been more different on Tuesday at the Cincinnati Open — a testament to just how much Sabalenka has evolved into the preeminent hard-court player on the WTA Tour Driven by Mercedes-Benz. Sabalenka needed just 54 minutes to see off Wang 6-1, 6-3 in their second career meeting and book her place in the Round of 16.
"She's a tough opponent and to get this win in straight sets, under an hour, it's an insane result and I'm so happy to be through," Sabalenka said afterwards. "I think I really trusted myself, I was going for my shots without overthinking, and I think that was the weapon of tonight's match. I'm super happy I was able to stay focused and to be there in every point."
