21-year-old is now the first player ever to reach five consecutive quarterfinals at WTA 1000 events since the format\u2019s introduction in 2009. <\/p>\n<p>Gauff made the semifinals of the China Open in her debut at the tournament in 2023, and went on to win the title in Beijing during the 2024 season, before reaching the final four in 2025. <\/p>\n<p>She made her first appearance in Wuhan last year, advancing to the semifinals before falling to defending champion <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetennisgazette.com\/tag\/aryna-sabalenka\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Aryna Sabalenka<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Now, Gauff will hope to go one step further this year, but she is on a collision course with both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetennisgazette.com\/tag\/iga-swiatek\/\"

Open, Gauff will take on Laura Siegemund, who has enjoyed an impressive campaign so far. <\/p>\n<p>After advancing via a walkover in her opening bout with Dayana Yastremska, Siegemund knocked out fifth seed Mirra Andreeva. <\/p>\n<p>The German then came through a second-set tiebreak against Magdalena Frech in the round of 16 to set up the clash with Gauff. <\/p>\n<p>Siegemund has only met the two-time major winner twice before at tour-level events, with their most recent match coming at the 2023 US Open, which she lost to the eventual champion in three sets.
