Top-seeded Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus secured her spot in the Miami Open semi-finals by defeating American Hailey Baptiste with a double 6-4 scoreline on Wednesday night. This victory marks Sabalenka’s second consecutive appearance in the Miami semi-finals, where she is set for a highly anticipated clash against third seed Elena Rybakina of Kazakhstan. The upcoming match will be a significant rematch, following their encounters in both the Australian Open and Indian Wells finals. Despite the seemingly straightforward score, the quarter-final contest against Baptiste was far from easy, presenting a stern challenge for Sabalenka.
