BEIJING (AP) \u2014 Wimbledon<\/a> champion Iga Swiatek defeated Camila Osorio for her 400th career win and advanced to the fourth round at the China Open on Monday.<\/p>\n

Swiatek, the first player<\/a> to register 25 or more wins at WTA-1000 events for three consecutive seasons, showed no signs of slowing down as she dismantled her Colombian opponent 6-0 in the first set before Osorio retired in the opening game of the second set.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sorry for Camila because she\u2019s always giving 100%,\u201d Swiatek said. \u201cBut overall, like besides that, I feel like I played good in the first set and really used my game to push Camila.\u201d<\/p>\n

Top-seeded Swiatek, who won last week\u2019s Korea Open in Seoul, next plays American Emma Navarro. Navarro was leading Lois Boisson 6-2, 1-0 when the French player retired from their match.<\/p>\n

Fifth-seeded Jessica Pegula saved three match points before knocking out Emma Raducanu 3-6, 7-6 (9), 6-0. Pegula improved her record against the Briton to 3-1.<\/p>\n

In other third-round matches, fourth-seeded Mirra Andreeva beat Jessica Bouzas Maneiro 6-4, 6-1 and Marta Kostyuk beat Aliaksandra Sasnovich 6-4, 6-2.<\/p>\n

In the men\u2019s tournament, top-seeded Jannik Sinner cruised into the semifinals after defeating Fabian Marozsan 6-1, 7-5.<\/p>\n

The Italian next plays third-seeded Alex de Minaur, who advanced by walkover after his opponent Jakub Mensik retired injured while trailing 4-1 in the first set.<\/p>\n

Daniil Medvedev defeated second-seeded Alexander Zverev 6-3, 6-3 and reached his 60th career semifinal, and first since June. Medvedev\u2019s second win this year against Zverev are his only top-10 wins of 2025. He\u2019s won his last against Zverev.<\/p>\n

Alcaraz to face Fritz<\/p>\n

In Tokyo, top-ranked Carlos Alcaraz came from a set down to beat fourth-seeded Casper Ruud 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 in the Japan Open semifinals for his personal best 66th victory in a season.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had a lot of chances in the first set,\u201d Alcaraz said. \u201cI had four break points if I\u2019m not wrong. I just tried to be more positive than the first set.\u201d<\/p>\n

With the victory, Alcaraz set up a final on Tuesday against second-seeded Taylor Fritz who hit 13 aces in eliminating fellow American Jenson Brooksby 6-4, 6-3.<\/p>\n

Last week, Fritz beat Alcaraz 6-3, 6-2 at the Laver Cup.<\/p>\n
