Sakkari Looks to Rediscover Consistency in Wuhan
Maria Sakkari advanced to the second round in Wuhan after defeating Donna Vekic in straight sets, 6-4, 6-2. The Greek recovered from a break down in both sets to complete the victory.
Sakkari has competed in 19 events this year but recorded multiple main-draw wins in only five tournaments. Her best results include a semifinal in Doha, a final in Athens, third-round appearances at the French Open and Wimbledon, and a quarterfinal run in Singapore.
Despite her inconsistent season, these performances and several opening-round wins at WTA 1000 events have helped her remain comfortably inside the top 50.
She has advanced beyond the opening round in Wuhan only once in two appearances, reaching the semifinals in 2017, and will aim to make another strong run this week.

Kostyuk Returns to Asia With Top-10 Status to Defend
Marta Kostyuk returns to action after a disappointing campaign in Guadalajara last month. Following a first-round bye and a walkover in the second round, she lost to Liudmila Samsonova in the quarterfinals despite winning the opening set. It was the second time this year she exited a tournament without recording a match victory.
The Ukrainian has enjoyed a breakthrough season, winning at least two matches in eight of the 12 events she has played. She has also reached seven quarterfinals or better, helping her break into the top 10 for the first time.
Kostyuk is making her third appearance in Wuhan. She reached the third round in 2024 but suffered an opening-round defeat last year. With her improved form and higher ranking, she will look to start strongly and consolidate her place among the world's top 10.
