Saturday November 2
Aryna Sabalenka vs Qinwen Zheng : 6/3 6/4
Great victory for the world No. 1, dominant, as usual. She still needs two victories to be assured of ending 2024 at the top of the WTA Ranking.
Elena Rybakina vs Jasmine Paolini: 6/7 (5) 4/6
The Italian, beautiful and immense revelation of the season, bagged a deserved success against Rybakina returning to competition after a long period of rest.

Sunday November 3
Iga Swiatek vs Barbora Krejcikova: 4/6 7/5 6/2
Returning to the competition, the now world No. 2 battled for 2h33 to dismiss the winner of Wimbledon, at the end of a hell of a fight.
Coco Gauff vs Jessica Pegula : 6/3 6/2
This enticing duel between the two Americans will very quickly turn in favor of the young Gauff, who is much more bloody.

Monday November 4
Aryna Sabalenka vs. Jasmine Paolini: 6/3 7/5
As is often the case, Sabalenka's power, will and seriousness were too much for her rival.
Qinwen Zheng vs Elena Rybakina: 7/6 (4) 3/6 6/1
For the first time in her career, the Chinese beat a Rybakina lacking competition. The winner of the match between Zheng and Paolini will go to the semi-final, with Sabalenka.
