China Open 2023 TV Schedule Today: Start time, order of play and more | Day 9

Day 9 (October 6) of the 2023 China Open will see quarterfinal action at this WTA 1000 tournament.

It's no surprise to see most of the tour's leading performers throughout the season making it to this stage. Iga Swiatek and Caroline Garcia will kick off the day's proceedings with their fourth career meeting.

While Swiatek won their previous encounter at the 2022 WTA Finals, Garcia still went on to win the title. However, the Frenchwoman won't be able to defend her title as she has failed to qualify for the event.

Coco Gauff and Maria Sakkari will square off in the next quarterfinal, with the teenager looking to triumph over the Greek for the second time this year.

Jelena Ostapenko still has an outside shot of making it to the WTA Finals, but she'll need to win the title here. The Latvian will take on Liudmila Samsonova for a spot in the last four.

Finally, the day's marquee match-up will be the showdown between Aryna Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina. The two have already faced off in a couple of high-profile matches this season. Sabalenka defeated Rybakina to win the Australian Open, while the Kazakh got her revenge to win the Indian Wells title. It marked the Belarusian's first loss against her rival.

On that note, here's a look at the schedule for Day 9 of the China Open:
