Svitolina bests China's Guo to make Wuhan quarterfinals - video
Ukraine's top tennis player Elina Svitolina defeated China's Guo Hanyu in the round of 16 at the WTA 1000 tournament in Wuhan, China.
In Wuhan, China, fifth-seeded tennis player Elina Svitolina advanced to the quarterfinals of the Wuhan Open on Thursday. Svitolina defeated local wild-card entry Guo Hanyu 6-1, 6-4 in a match where she broke Guo's serve in both the opening and final games. This was Svitolina's second loss in the quarterfinals this week, having earlier been eliminated from the China Open by eventual champion Zheng Qinwen.
Guo, ranked 240th, had never previously reached a top-20 ranking in his career before this match, as he had rallied from a deficit of 5-3 in the third set to save triple match point in the tiebreaker. Meanwhile, Wimbledon finalist Karolina Muchova also lost to Diana Shnaider, 7-5, 6-3. Earlier in the week, top-seeded Aryna Sabalenka and second-seeded Jessica Pegula both lost in the second round of the tournament.
