The match lasted over two and a half hours, with Chwalińska winning the first set convincingly. After losing the second set, she secured victory in a closely contested third set. Following the match, Chwalińska described it as difficult and physically demanding, recalling that she had faced Sakkari twice before, both of which were challenging encounters.
Chwalińska has achieved a notable milestone, as reported by Interia Sport. According to Opta Ace statisticians, she is the second player since 2009 whose first three WTA semifinal appearances have occurred at Grand Slam, WTA 1000, and WTA 500 tournaments. The first was American Danielle Collins, who reached the semifinals at the Australian Open, Miami, and San Jose.
Prior to this, Chwalińska reached the semifinals at the WTA 500 tournament in Singapore and competed in the Roland Garros final. Her opponent in the Wuhan Open semifinals will be decided from the match between American Ann Li and Iga Świątek.
