"I played really well today" says Sabalenka after quarterfinal berth in Doha

2020 Doha champion Aryna Sabalenka cruised into her first quarterfinal of the year, dismissing Switzerland’s Jil Teichmann 6-2, 6-1 in just over an hour.
The match was a very good one from the former champion as she did not commit a single double fault and that's something that's very important for her. Hitting her serve at a high rate is crucial for Sabalenka and her game and it was confirmed today. She said:
"It was an amazing match, I really played well today," Sabalenka said afterwards. "She played well as well, but maybe I was a little bit more lucky today. The atmosphere was unbelievable, so I enjoyed every second on court."
In the quarterfinals, Sabalenka will meet No.7 seed Iga Swiatek, who defeated Daria Kasatkina in straight sets. Sabalenka won her only prior meeting with Swiatek, in the round-robin portion of last year's Akron WTA Finals.
