Miami Open 2025: Sabalenka beats Zheng to set up semifinal date with Paolini

World number one Aryna Sabalenka battled back in the second set to blast her way into the semifinals of the Miami Open with a 6-2, 7-5 win over China’s Zheng Qinwen on Tuesday. The victory gives Sabalenka her first place in the last four at Miami, with a clash against Italy’s Jasmine Paolini standing between her and a place in the final. It looked like it was going to be routine business for the Belarussian against the ninth-seed Zheng when Sabalenka took the first set comfortably. “Honestly, every match is tough against her, I always have to work really hard to get the win, and today was an incredible level from both of us,” said Sabalenka.
