World No. 2 Aryna Sabalenka defeated China's Zheng Qinwen in a 6-3, 5-7, 6-3 thriller on Sunday, claiming her third consecutive Wuhan Open title.
Zheng got off to a slow start, committing four double faults in the opening set while Sabalenka dominated her own service games and broke Zheng's serve in the sixth game, taking the first set 6-3.
Both players showed resilience in a closely contested second set. Sabalenka made several unforced errors in her forehand attacks, while Zheng displayed more stability and converted four out of seven break points to win the set 7-5.
In the decider, Zheng struggled with her serve, losing the first two service games. She fought back to break Sabalenka's serve twice and hold her own serve, bringing the score to 3-5. In the ninth game, Sabalenka broke Zheng's serve again with a netted shot, sealing her victory at 6-3.
Wuhan has proven to be a lucky venue for Sabalenka, who has enjoyed an unbeaten 17-0 streak in the central Chinese city, and has won all three editions of the Wuhan open since 2018.
Returning to Wuhan this year, Sabalenka hailed the development of China's tennis this season. "It's definitely a huge season for the Chinese players. Qinwen won the Olympics and made it to the Australian Open final. Definitely tennis has become bigger in China and it's really nice to see. It's definitely a successful year for China in tennis," she commented.
This is the third time Zheng has lost to Sabalenka this season, but the Chinese sought to accentuate the positive. "I feel that this time I had a clearer understanding of the situation on the court compared to previous matches. Maybe I was too conservative in today's match against Sabalenka. This is something that excites me a little after this loss, that I can always do better than the last time. I hope that next time, I can not only come close but surpass."
Despite not winning the title, playing her first WTA 1000 final in Wuhan holds a special meaning for Zheng. "I think it's not easy to reach the final of a 1,000-point tournament, especially in Wuhan. This is where my dream began. Of course, I'm very disappointed that I couldn't take home the trophy this time, but I hope that one day in my future career, I can fulfil this wish," Zheng said.

Hallo Jana und Jelena,
Höre gerade den tollen Song 10:45 min ( Hörerbriefkasten) Was ist das für ein traditionelles Instrument im Soloteil, klingt etwas wie ein Dudelsack, aber der ist ja in Schottland:-)
LG

Адказ:
Lieber Dietmar,
das ist wirklich ein Dudelsack :) In Belarus wird es aber Dudá genannt. Eigentlich ist Duda ein belarussisches traditionelles Musikinstrument. Übrigens gibt es viele Arten und Formen von Dudelsack in verschiedenen Kulturen und Ländern von Südamerica bis Indien.
PS: das Lied ist Каляда На Балоце von Тутэйшая Шляхта. ;)
Beste Grüße

Вiтаю радыё Беларусь! Я з`яуляюся сталым слухачом Вашай радыёстанцыi. Вельмi падабаюцца перадачы на замежных мовах, якiя даюць магчымасць не толькi даведацца, што адбываецца ў Беларусi i за яе межамi, але ж i ўдасканалiць веды ангельскай, нямецкай, французскай моваў, праслухаўшы перадачы. Хацелася б даведацца, цi плануе радыёстанцыя вяшчанне на FM у Мiнску, бо ў заходнiх рэгiёнах Беларусi радыёстанцыя на FM працуе. У шматнацыянальным Мiнску жыве шмат замежных грамадзян, таксама прыязджаюць турысты, якiя б маглi даведацца пра тое, што аббываецца ў краiне i за яе межамi праз радыё Беларусь. На сёння ў Мiнску няма нiводнай англамоўнай цi iншамоўнай радыёстанцыi. З павагай, ваш слухач Сяргей.
Адказ:
Сяргей, дзякуй за паведамленне! Сапраўды, у Мінску нашы перадачы ў ФМ-дыяпазоне не чуваць. Аднак вы можаце паслухаць абсалютна ўсе нашы перадачы непасрэдна на сайце радыё «Беларусь». Уверсе на старонцы ёсць два радкі: он-лайн вяшчанне і ФМ-вяшчанне. Так што далучайцеся да нас у Інтэрнэце!
