Wuhan Open 2025 Quarterfinals Schedule and Match Previews
Wuhan, China – October 10, 2025.
The Dongfeng Voyah Wuhan Open 2025 has reached the quarterfinal stage, and tennis fans are in for a thrilling day of action. The Friday schedule features four blockbuster singles matches on Center Court, beginning at 11:00 AM local time, followed by an exciting lineup of doubles quarterfinals on Court 1.
With all eight remaining players fighting for a spot in the semifinals, the stakes could not be higher in Wuhan — one of the biggest WTA 1000 tournaments on the Asian swing.
Quarterfinals Schedule (Center Court)
According to the official order of play released on October 9, 2025, the singles quarterfinal matches will unfold as follows:
1. 11:00 AM – Katerina Siniakova (CZE) vs [6] Jessica Pegula (USA)
The singles quarterfinal action begins with Katerina Siniakova of the Czech Republic taking on sixth seed Jessica Pegula from the United States.
Siniakova, who entered the main draw as a qualifier, has been one of the surprise stories of the week, showing great determination and tactical awareness to reach this stage. Pegula, meanwhile, continues to be one of the WTA Tour’s most consistent performers. Known for her powerful baseline strokes and solid court coverage, the American will look to impose her rhythm early and prevent Siniakova from creating long, grinding rallies.
This match opens the day’s play on Center Court and is expected to last around two hours, depending on match intensity.
2. Not Before 1:00 PM – [1] Aryna Sabalenka vs [8] Elena Rybakina (KAZ)
The second match on Center Court features a headline clash between top seed Aryna Sabalenka and eighth seed Elena Rybakina.
Sabalenka, the current world No. 1, has been in dominating form, showing her trademark power and aggression.
Rybakina, on the other hand, is one of the few players capable of matching Sabalenka’s raw pace and serving strength. Their encounter promises big hitting, fast rallies, and plenty of drama.
With both players known for their fearless shot-making, this is expected to be one of the best matches of the tournament so far.
3. Not Before 3:00 PM – Laura Siegemund (GER) vs [3] Coco Gauff (USA)
Next on Center Court, Germany’s Laura Siegemund faces third seed Coco Gauff from the United States.
Siegemund has used her variety and experience to navigate through a tough draw, while Gauff, one of the brightest young stars in tennis, continues to impress with her athleticism and composure under pressure.
This match will likely draw strong attention, as Gauff remains a fan favorite and a top contender for the Wuhan title.
4. Not Before 7:00 PM – [7] Jasmine Paolini (ITA) vs [2] Iga Świątek (POL)
The final singles quarterfinal of the day will feature Jasmine Paolini of Italy taking on second seed Iga Świątek, the four-time Grand Slam champion.
Świątek enters the match in excellent form, looking to continue her dominance on hard courts. However, Paolini has proven time and again that she can challenge top players with her speed, aggressive returns, and never-give-up attitude.
Świątek recently defeated Paolini in the 2025 Cincinnati Open final, so this rematch gives Paolini a chance to seek revenge under the Wuhan lights.
5. Last Match
The last match on Center Court will be a doubles match between Bianca Andreescu / Yue Yuan [WC] and Anna Danilina / Aleksandra Krunic [8].
Court 1 – Doubles Quarterfinals
