A sensation in Beijing: Sabalenka loses in the quarters!

She was on a 15-match winning streak. She had won 30 of her 31 sets.

However, Aryna Sabalenka saw her impressive run of success come to an end on Friday.

Faced with a Karolina Muchova in superb form, the world No. 2 will no doubt be wondering for a long time how she could have lost this match.

Although the Czech played a match of the highest level, Sabalenka seemed to be a cut above her opponent throughout.

Despite this, it was Muchova who finally booked her place in the Beijing semi-finals after almost 3 hours of battle (7-6, 2-6, 6-4).

The former world no. 8 showed her fighting spirit and even won the last 4 games of the match to complete the feat of the week.
