Sabalenka, who retained her US Open title in September, controlled the match against Rybakina, sealing the first set with a hold before breaking the Kazakhstani’s serve in the first game of the second.

Despite a few service wobbles in the closing stages, Sabalenka took a comfortable win to set up the tie with Pegula – a player against whom she has won eight of her 10 meetings.

Asked about her consecutive wins at the tournament, four-time major winner Sabalenka said she feels a “really great connection” with the fans in China.

“I feel at home every time playing here. Honestly, that’s just crazy,” she said.

Meanwhile, sixth seed Pegula was a set down against Siniakova before fighting back to take the second set unchallenged. She then clinched the set third for her 50th win of the season and boost her chances of qualifying for next month’s season-ending WTA Finals.

In Friday’s other quarter-finals, third seed Coco Gauff faces Laura Siegemund while second seed Iga Swiatek takes on Jasmine Paolini, who is seeded seventh.
