Victorious over Ukraine's Kostyuk (6-1, 7-6), Sabalenka advances to the quarterfinals of the WTA 1000 in Rome, where she will face Zheng. The 26-year-old player is now on a streak of nine consecutive wins and 34 matches won in 2025.

Asked about her performance after the match, the Belarusian reflected on her evening in an interview shared by Tennis World Italia:

"It was a great battle, and I’m really happy with my performance. Thank you to the Romans for this incredible atmosphere. For players, it’s a dream to compete on such a beautiful court with such an enthusiastic crowd—I truly appreciate the support here."

The world No. 1 then humorously mentioned her favorite dish here:

"Yesterday, I didn’t have my favorite pasta, so I guess that’s why I wasn’t as sharp today. Hopefully, tomorrow’s pasta will help me in my next match."

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.
