No. 5 seed Maja Chwalinska needed just 59 minutes to end Ukraine’s Oleksandra Oliynykova’s challenge and advance to the quarterfinals of the WTA Singapore Tennis Open on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The Pole dominated from the outset, winning 6-0, 6-1 to reach the last eight without dropping a set at the WTA 500 tournament.<\/p>\n
Here are some of the key numbers from Chwalinska’s victory:<\/p>\n
2: Chwalinska’s number of wins over Oliynykova in as many career matches. She also defeated the Ukrainian at the WTA 125 event in Florianopolis earlier this year.<\/p>\n
3: The number of WTA-level quarterfinals Chwalinska has now reached in her career. She earlier reached the last eight at Cluj-Napoca and at Roland-Garros (eventual runner-up), both in 2026<\/p>\n
6: The number of break points Chwalinska converted from eight opportunities. Oliynykova had just one break-point chance in the match and converted it in the second set.<\/p>\n
6: The number of Chwalinska’s career wins over Top 50 opponents on the WTA Tour Driven by Mercedes-Benz. Her most recent came against then-No. 38 Cristina Bucsa in Cincinnati in 2026. During her run to the Roland-Garros final, she defeated four Top 50 players – No. 21 Elise Mertens, No. 49 Maria Sakkari, No. 24 Anna Kalinskaya and No. 23 Diana Shnaider.<\/p>\n
7: The number of unforced errors Chwalinska made in the match, matching Oliynykova’s total of winners. Chwalinska hit 10 winners, while the Ukrainian committed 33 unforced errors.<\/p>\n
8: The number of points Chwalinska lost in the opening set as she raced through it 6-0. She dropped just 20 points in the entire match.<\/p>\n
The Pole will next face Mertens, who advanced to the quarterfinals when two-time Grand Slam champion Barbora Krejcikova withdrew from their second-round match due to a lower back injury.<\/p>\n
Wednesday’s match will be the second meeting between Chwalinska and Mertens. Chwalinska won their first encounter in the second round of the French Open earlier this year, prevailing in straight sets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"No. 5 seed Maja Chwalinska needed just 59 minutes to end Ukraine’s Oleksandra Oliynykova’s challenge and advance to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":857606,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[72],"tags":[99,428,1959],"class_list":["post-857605","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-sports","tag-tennis","tag-text"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/857605","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=857605"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/857605\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/857606"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=857605"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=857605"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=857605"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
