Qinwen Zheng is set to face Aryna Sabalenka once again in the quarterfinals of Roland-Garros 2025, marking their third meeting this season. The Chinese star secured her place in the last eight with a hard-fought victory over Liudmila Samsonova, battling through three sets to claim the win.
Sabalenka, the world number one, has dominated their head-to-head encounters, winning six of their previous seven matches. However, Zheng broke that streak in Rome, defeating Sabalenka in straight sets on clay. That victory has given her confidence heading into this high-stakes clash in Paris.
Sabalenka has made it clear that she is eager for revenge, acknowledging the challenge Zheng presents but expressing determination to reclaim control of their rivalry. The Belarusian has been in strong form, advancing to the quarterfinals with a solid win over Amanda Anisimova.
With both players motivated and in peak condition, this quarterfinal promises to be an intense battle. Zheng will look to build on her recent success against Sabalenka, while the top seed aims to reassert her dominance. Fans can expect a thrilling contest as these two elite competitors fight for a spot in the semifinals.
