Wuhan is a WTA 1000 singles event with 56 players, played outdoors on hard courts; the second round is scheduled for October 14 (WTA, publication of October 8, 2026). Jovic reached the round of 16 in Beijing, with victories over Xinyu Gao, Harriet Dart, and Kamilla Rakhimova, before losing to Iga Swiatek 6-1, 6-3 (WTA).
The WTA also reported a six-match winning streak after her title in Guadalajara (October 7, 2026). Yastremska defeated Cristina Bucsa in Wuhan 6-4, 5-7, 6-3 in 2 h 12 on October 13, with 25 winners and 50 unforced errors (AS).
The level of opposition and match load are therefore not comparable: Jovic is rested but has not played a match in Wuhan, while Yastremska arrives with a concrete on-court reference but a short recovery period.
