Good victory today, very different conditions from Beijing, heavier and larger ball, more humid and slower. We made some adjustments, but it was still a good first game. We were behind in the second set, with few points making a difference, it could have been 2-1. We kept calm to achieve the comeback by playing better. Now it's time to prepare for the next game and keep adapting to conditions here in Wuhan," analyzed 29-year-old Brazilian Stefani.

The second best duo of the season, Stefani and Dabrowski could reach the top position if they win the title in Wuhan. Besides the WTA 1000 in Beijing, the Brazilian and Canadian have won trophies in four other tournaments: WTA 1000 in Dubai, WTA 500 in Strasbourg, and WTA 250 in Eastbourne, England, and SP Open.

The duo is already qualified for the WTA Finals, the tournament that will bring together the eight best duos of the year, in Indian Wells, United States, from November 8 to 15.
