–

It’s Sunday, but they’re only at the quarterfinal stages of the two tournament in China, which will have Tuesday finishes.

And seven of the eight seeds survived in Zhuhai – with the only exception Andy Murray, who bowed out to Aslan Karatsev on Saturday.

Too bad; it would have meant an all-British quarterfinal with Murray taking on Cam Norrie.

In Chengdu, the top three seeds were through to the final eight – and to the final four.

(Chengdu and Zhuhai are both 12 hours ahead of EDT)
