Can Zhang break her very, very long losing streak and do it on home soil?

Zhang miss a drive backhand volley to win, and now Kessler level the 2nd set.

Raducanu quit. Anisimova move up the draw as seed? She's in the draw.

Must be sweet on home soil. R2 v Navarro so I give here a very slim chance.

Unless I’m blind, she ain’t anymore. This is what I saw last night right before her match was scheduled.

Yeah, Amanda and Caroline Dolehide move up to seeds. I think Caroline replacing Jelena Ostapenko, pretty sweet moving into top 8 draw.

Spectators would be nice! 
Kenin and Bogdan had practically none, never-forget-to-grunt Italian and 'Nobodyhomi' a couple here and there. Still Beijing has population of 22 million which is as much as say whole Czech Republic and Belgium combined!!!

It's all just making the life of rich and successful even easier and handing them unearned money (of which up and coming players should get at least half). So I'm a fan of zero byes-tournaments.

Also funny when this rare feat happens.
Kim Birrell beat Rakhimova in the final round of qualifying in 3 sets 48 hours ago.
Rakhimova got into the main draw as a lucky loser and got drawn to play Birrell 1R. But this time she gets the win.

Took almost 14 years to have a main draw match go over 4 hours when Siegemund beat Wang last week in Thailand.
Now it’s happened again, Sorribes Tormo beats Gao in 4 hours and 15 minutes. The 4th longest WTA match in the open era.

The way Sinner glides around the court nowadays. So effortless.
Third set he went nuclear.

I mean, if Sinner doesn't win the WTA 1000 in Beijing, that would be pretty bad...

Only in tennis... and it just feels so wrong. They need to make a rule against this or something.

The first time Naomi won after a set down I think.

The real question on my mind: how sweaty did Cocciaretto get?
This was a pretty shocking result, even by WTA standards.
Shnaider seems to be one of the most consistent players right now. Not quite at the top level, but brings a quite good level to just about every match. Will be interesting if she can take another step forward.
Townsend is another mystery. There must be some type of player/style that really baffles her or something. Either that, or she simply doesn't show up consistently.

Boulter/Kalinskaya have withdrawn from doubles. Not clear yet who, if anyone, has a problem.
Can't imagine it's busy scheduling. You'd think both would have anticipated the possiblility of reaching last 32 of singles.

Sluggish start from Sabalenka (4-4). This match-up had 1 and 1 written all over it.

Eurosport says 1.63 meters, or a little over 5’4”.

Nice win for Vekic over Golubic who has a terrific OHBH. Long match with a rain delay.
