Wuhan Open 2025: Aryna Sabalenka beats Rebecca Sramkova in first match since US Open triumph
Sabalenka has won all 18 of her matches at the Wuhan Open
Aryna Sabalenka overcame a rusty start in Wuhan as she fought back to beat Rebecca Sramkova in her first appearance since winning the US Open.
The world number one secured her first Grand Slam trophy of the year in New York, retaining her title as she defeated Amanda Anisimova in the final.
But in her first match for over a month, Sabalenka's game was initially riddled with errors and she struggled with the power of Slovakia's Sramkova, ranked 68th in the world.
However, after losing the first set she settled into her game in the second set before steamrolling through the third to wrap up a 4-6 6-3 6-1 victory.

Still unbeaten in Wuhan: Sabalenka overcomes Sramkova from a set down
Three-time champion Aryna Sabalenka improved her perfect record at the Dongfeng Voyah · Wuhan Open to 18-0 after coming from a set down to defeat Rebecca Sramkova.
Returning to action for the first time since claiming her fourth Grand Slam crown at the US Open, World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka needed a set to find her groove at the Dongfeng Voyah · Wuhan Open. Once she did, though, she motored to a 4-6, 6-3, 6-1 win over Rebecca Sramkova in 1 hour and 58 minutes.
Famously, Wuhan has long been one of Sabalenka's favored hunting grounds. She won her first WTA 1000 title here back in 2018, and has yet to lose a match at the tournament. The three-time champion extended her perfect record in Wuhan to 18-0 — the longest such streak at a single event since Caroline Wozniacki won her first 20 matches at New Haven, including three titles, between 2008 and 2012.
