What a match!
Aryna Sabalenka impresses after playing fantastic tennis in Beijing against an in-form Garbine Muguruza.
The Spaniard is currently ranked no.15 and she is eager to get back in the top10 after an erratic 2018. Garbine had to face a huge hurdle in the 2nd round in Beijing since Aryna Sabalenka is probably the most in-form player on tour with Naomi Osaka.
The match was completely even in the first set when the only difference between Aryna and Garbine was a break in the 12th game for the Belarussian. The contest was extremely watchable with both players giving their absolute best firing shots from all over the places. The Spaniard opposed a fantastic resistance also in the second set especially after she managed to recover from a 2-4 deficit to make it even (4-4). Once more, the set was decided at the very end with Sabalenka conquering the decisive break in the 10th game.
The final score was 7-5 6-4 and the contest ended after 1 hour and 46 minutes.
