Sakkari Builds on Second-Half Revival With Another Deep Run
After a tough match against Maya Joint in the previous round, Maria Sakkari comfortably defeated Aliaksandra Sasnovich in straight sets, 6-2, 6-3, to reach the semifinals this week.
The Greek struggled for consistency earlier this year and dropped outside the top 50 in the rankings, but her level has improved considerably during the second half of the season.
She has reached the final in Athens, the quarterfinals in Singapore and Wuhan, and the third round at Wimbledon, Cincinnati and Beijing. Those results have helped her return to around the top 30 in the rankings.
Sakkari has reached seven semifinals across Asian tournaments, including events in the Middle East, but has lost all of them. She will now look to break that run and reach the final in Hong Kong.

Eala Seeks Third Tour-Level Final After Ruzic Victory
Alexandra Eala defeated Antonia Ruzic in two tight sets, 7-6, 7-5, to secure her place in the semifinals. She trailed by a break three times and also squandered a 5-0 lead in the opening-set tiebreak before eventually claiming it, which proved crucial to her victory.
Just a few weeks ago, Eala had never registered multiple main-draw wins at a tour-level event during the Asian swing. However, she has raised her level in recent weeks, reaching the quarterfinals in Tokyo before going one step further in Hong Kong.
The Filipina has enjoyed a breakthrough season across all levels, highlighted by her maiden tour-level title in Washington. She has also reached the fourth round at Wimbledon, Toronto, Indian Wells and Miami. She is now one win away from making her top-15 debut in the rankings.
Eala has a 2-3 career record in tour-level semifinals, including a 1-2 mark this year. Her only semifinal victory in 2026 came during her title-winning campaign in Washington, while her other final appearance came in Eastbourne in 2025.
