No.3 seed Coco Gauff extended her winning streak to 16 in the China Open quarterfinals, defeating No.6 seed Maria Sakkari 6-2, 6-4 and setting up a marquee semifinal showdown with No.2 seed Iga Swiatek.

US Open champion Gauff's 16-match winning streak is the longest by any player on the Hologic WTA Tour this season. It is also the longest by a teenager since Bianca Andreescu won 17 in a row between Roland Garros and Beijing in 2019, and longest by an American teenager since Serena Williams compiled two separate 16-match streaks in 1999.

Gauff is the fifth teenager this century to win 16 or more consecutive tour-level matches, following Kim Clijsters (17 straight between Luxembourg 2002 and the Australian Open 2003), Nicole Vaidisova (18 straight between Seoul and Philadelphia 2005), Maria Sharapova (19 straight between the US Open and WTA Finals 2006) and Andreescu.
