Qinwen Zheng sweeps Jasmine Paolini in straight sets to advance to final four

The equation was simple this Wednesday, in Riyadh. A duel between Qinwen Zheng (7th) and Jasmine Paolini (4th) with, as a reward for the winner, a ticket to the last four of the Masters. In a group where world number 1 Aryna Sabalenka was already qualified for the semi-finals after her two victories in two matches, the Chinese won her meeting against the Italian. Zheng even crushed his opponent in just two sets (6-1, 6-1).
