He wasn't #4 then..more like 7
But why am I talking?! Rankings mean nothing, according to me.

Coco vs Swiatek in the semis..court is slow, should help Swiatek...on a faster court, I would bet on Coco...

Rybakina is sooo formidable on a slow hard court! Can't imagine who can beat her here...let us see what happens. samsonova next, also formidable on a court where she gets time to set up...

Shockingly bad crowd for the Swiatek vs. Gauff semifinal in Beijing. Around 30% full

That might be an "injury" break for you if you were Chinese and said that.

(Irina needs a better p/r firm. (hopefully outside of Belarus/Russia)
