At 36, Zhang Shuai's still got the magic touch! After dropping the opening set 3-6 to Veronika Erjavec, she flipped the script in set two with four break chances, converting three to square things up. In the decider, her serve was 🔥, winning over 80% of first-serve points and shutting down any comeback attempt.
This marks Zhang's fifth trip into the Guangzhou Open quarterfinals and keeps her win streak rolling on the China swing. Next up: a high-voltage showdown with American rising star Katie Volynets! ⚡️
Also on court, Italy's Elisabetta Cocciaretto edged out China's Wang Xiyu in a 6-3, 2-6, 6-3 thriller. After a quick medical timeout for a leg tweak, Cocciaretto rattled off five straight games to seal the deal. She'll face Ann Li in the quarters.
The Guangzhou Open vibes are only heating up! Stay tuned for more epic rallies and upsets 🎾🔥
