Coco Gauff defeated Yuliia Starodubtseva 2–6, 6–2, 6–2 in the Beijing Masters 1000 quarter-final on hard court on 3 October 2024, recovering from a first-set loss to dominate the remainder of the match. As the pre-match favourite at 1.22 odds, Gauff's comeback victory followed the expected outcome despite a sluggish opening set. After dropping the opening frame, Gauff seized control in the second and third sets, winning twelve of the final fourteen games to progress to the semi-finals. The American's ability to adjust and impose her game after an early setback underscores her consistency at the Masters 1000 level and maintains her strong momentum in Beijing.
