It is the Brazilian’s first WTA Elite Trophy event, and she is participating in both singles and doubles (with Veronika Kudermetova) as she seeks her first singles final this year – although her victory over Keys is her eighth over a player ranked in the Top 20 so far this season.
This victory puts her at 2-3 in singles matches in China in 2023.
Keys – seeded second in Zhuhai – has now not won a match since the US Open.
