WTA 1000 ATP 500 Beijing 9/28 - 10/04 2023

[ashkor87]

If I remember right, the court at Beijing is the fastest on the tour..of course it could be different this year ...

i think it was Shanghai that was the fastest, Beijing is sort of medium

[ashkor87]

Two tough first rounds on the women's ...Gauff vs Alexandrova, Sabalenka vs Kenin...an upset won't surprise me

[ashkor87]

Plus QZ vs Rybakina

[ponchi101]

Don't share your faith on Kenin. I can't see her making an impression of Sabalenka at this stage of their careers.

[meganfernandez]

How is Haddad Maia able to play this soon after lacerating her hand on a shower door in Guadalajara?

How is Haddad Maia able to play this soon after lacerating her hand on a shower door in Guadalajara?

I was wondering that too.

[JTContinental]

Note to Rybakina: Pegula, Sakkari, Pavlyuchenkova, and Kudermetova all got byes into the second round

[ashkor87]

Don't share your faith on Kenin. I can't see her making an impression of Sabalenka at this stage of their careers.

She has exactly the same number of majors as Sabalenka, and she is on the upswing now...she is exactly the kind of player who can drive Sabalenka up the wall in frustration..

Hope it means it was not that serious...

[ashkor87]

you were right.. she didn't

[ashkor87]

watched a bit of Parks vs Samsonova.. Samsonova should do ok here, court is slow enough to give her time to hit her big shots.. Sabalenka too, of course..

[ponchi101]

Just a little bit of luck on that comment (mine). Kenin's good 2020 was already a few years back, and I believe her game has too many twitches at the moment, especially the serve.
But she has been healthy for a good run now and yet she has not climbed further up. Aryna was a bit too much for her at the moment.
