Will Sabalenka Keep On Rolling?

The Belarusian player had reached the US Open semifinal stage three years in a row before finally breaking through to win it all earlier this month. She's dealing with a similar stumbling block when it comes to the WTA Beijing China Open.

Ayrna Sabalenka

Sabalenka has never advanced beyond the quarter-final stage of this tournament. She was halted there last year and also in 2018.

Sabalenka and Swiatek are the only players already assured of a berth in the WTA Finals. With a strong finish to the season, Sabalanka still could overtake Swiatek and claim the world No. 1 ranking.

Jessica Pegula

Seeded No. 2 in this tournament, Pegula is in the fourth quarter of the draw, which might present an easier path to the final. She'll likely need to deal with No. 6 seed Emma Navarro to get out of this quarter.

The US Open was her first appearance in a Grand Slam final. Instead of defending her title last week in Seoul, Pegula was opting to withdraw from the event. A finalist in last year's WTA Finals, she currently sits fifth in the race for a spot in this year's event.

Coco Gauff

Gauff was a semi-finalist in this event last year. She was ousted by eventual champion Swiatek.

The sixth seed in Beijing, Gauff hasn't played since falling in the Round of 16 at the US Open. Last week, she announced a parting of the ways with her coach Brad Gilbert.

Qinwen Zheng

Zheng (+1100) comes into this event as the hometown hero. Will that prove to be added incentive, or extra pressure? It's her first time playing on home soil this year. Zheng was eliminated in the opening round in straight sets by Elena Ryabkina in last year's WTA Beijing China Open.

She currently sits ninth in the race to the WTA Finals and needs to get some work done to move into the top eight in order to participate in that event.

WTA Beijing China Open Longshots To Consider

Beatriz Haddad Maia (+3300) has proven the be the player making the most racket on the WTA Tour since the conclusion of the US Open. She's coming into this tournament off a win in the Seoul Open. Haddad Maia has reached the final in three of her past four tournaments. She's 12-2 in her last 14 matches.

Barbora Krejcikova (+4000) will be playing in just her third tournament since her career-changing triumph at Wimbledon. The Czech player is the No. 7 seed in Beijing. Naomi Osaka (+3300) won the WTA Beijing China Open in 2019.

WTA Beijing China Open Props

Among the best prop bets on offer for the WTA Beijing China Open are betting lines of the winning half and winning quarter of the draw.

It's the top half that is set as the -185 odds-on chalk to produce the ultimate champion of this tournament. The top half of the draw includes the likes of Sabalenka, Krejcikova, Zheng, Haddad Maia and world No. 5 Jasmine Paolini.

Sabalenka, Haddad Maia and Krejcikova are all situated within the first quarter of the draw. It's the even-money favorite to provide the winner of this event.

Olympic gold medal winner Zheng is set up well for success in this tournament. There's not much to challenge her path out of her quarter.
