Day 3 Results, Adelaide International: Bencic, Sabalenka through, Kerber retires against Yastremska
WTA
The third day of action at the Adelaide International is complete with the likes of Belinda Bencic, Aryna Sabalenka and Donna Vekic all through to the Quarter-Finals.
Bencic as fourth seed saved a set point in the first set; before defeating Julia Goerges in two tiebreaks to move into the Last Eight. She ended up winning 7-6, 7-6; in one hour 50 minutes.
Vekic came through a tough test against Maria Sakkari. The Greek ace moved through the first set 6-2; but the Croatian came back to claim the next two 7-5, 6-1.
She will next face Dayana Yastremska after Angelique Kerber retired due to a left hamstring injury during the second set of their tie; when the Ukrainian teenager was already leading 6-3, 2-0. It is unsure yet how serious the injury is or whether it is just a precaution with the Australian Open round the corner.
There were also victories for Sabalenka who edged past Bernarda Pera; next up is second seed Simona Halep in what is an excellent prospect for the Quarter-Finals. Also Danielle Rose Collins is through; after easing past fellow American, Sofia Kenin.

- A healthy Qinwen may be hard to stop next season. She was already scaring her opponents before her medical leave(s). Unfortunately, Zheng insisted on singing again. On the positive side -- Mirra did not sing!! ;~}
mandoist11-10-2026 - Where is it written that athletes, entertainers... People in general... are mandated to keep looking at -- or even using [anti]Social Media? Public & private figures consistently complain and reveal their concerns about negativity and violence thrown at them -- yet they insist on participating. Avoid it, don't use it, don't read it. It's okay to occasionally look up at the World instead beating your eyes & thumbs to death on The Inventions out there.mandoist11-10-2026

- Let's not BS the general public -- Sabalenka started showing cracks in her game last season. Her losses and near-losses started at about the same time she began being distracted by Fame (constant Selfies, making TV commercials, magazine shoots, endless Social Media nonsense, etc., etc.) One would think even Saba could recognize the parallels with others who failed before her -- Raducanu, Giorgi, Bouchard to name a few.mandoist25-09-2026
- Gross!! Hey Raducanu, Giorgi, and Bouchard -- reserve a seat at your Social Media Selfie table for Saba + Naomi. They're heading in your direction soon enough.mandoist24-09-2026
- And then these same players will complain about how lengthy their season’s were and need more time-off. I’m all for more tennis but the amount of tennis we get now is actually kind of crazy! We all need a break, especially the players.DaveyWavey23-09-2026
- You should do a comparison article for "different kinds of justice" the courts decide for tennis players. I can think of at least three players who received very small bans of a few months, however Tara Moore has been fighting for her literal survival the past few years. It seems odd considering she is not a "name" player, unlike the other cases.DaveyWavey22-09-2026
