Here\u2019s a recent tennis story, via The Associated Press:<\/p>\n

WUHAN, China (AP) \u2014 Top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka overcame an early scare to beat unseeded Rebecca Sramkova 4-6, 6-3, 6-1 at the Wuhan Open on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The defending champion has had an amazing run in Wuhan \u2014 her record is 18-0 while winning titles in 2018, 2019 and 2024.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Open champion Sabalenka broke her 68th-ranked opponent in the opening game of the final set and went on before converting her second match point to win in almost two hours.<\/p>\n

\u201cI knew that after that little break \u2026 it will be not that easy to get back in my rhythm,\u201d Sabalenka said in her on-court interview. \u201cI\u2019m really gland the in the second set I found my game and stepped in and I think I played really great.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sabalenka started her rally by breaking her 68th-ranked opponent in fourth game of the second set and jumped to a 4-1 lead. She saved four break points in the seventh game.<\/p>\n

She faces next No. 16 seed Liudmila Samsonova who rallied to beat 2020 Australian Open champion Sofia Kenin 3-6, 6-3, 6-1.<\/p>\n

Sramkova broke Sabalenka twice in the opening set.<\/p>\n

Sabalenka, who took a Greek holiday after her second consecutive win at Flushing Meadows, withdrew from last week\u2019s China Open, another WTA 1000-level event.<\/p>\n

Jessica Pegula was twice broken while serving for the match in the third set but recovered to edge Hailey Baptiste in a tight tiebreaker and advance.<\/p>\n

Sixth-seeded Pegula beat her fellow American 6-4, 4-6, 7-6 (6) on her seventh match point to reach the third round.<\/p>\n

Pegula, who lost in the China Open semifinals last week, will next play ninth-seeded Ekaterina Alexandrova, who beat American Ann Li 7-6 (5), 6-2.<\/p>\n

No. 3 Coco Gauff, coming off a semifinal loss to eventual champion Amanda Anisimova at the China Open last week, breezed into the next round with a 6-1, 6-0 win over Moyuka Uchijima in 51 minutes.<\/p>\n

Also, qualifier Kate\u0159ina Siniakov\u00e1 beat Maya Joint 6-3, 6-1.<\/p>\n

Eleventh-seeded Naomi Osaka was upset by unseeded Linda Noskova 7-6 (2), 6-3. The 20-year-old inform Czech was defeated by Amanda Anisimova in the final of the China Open on Sunday.<\/p>\n
