–

Quiet day in Beijing, with only No. 2 Daniil Medvedev, No. 5 Andrey Rublev and No. 8 Alexander Zverev in action among the seeds.

In Astana, No. 1 Tallon Griekspoor and No. 3 (and home-country favorite) Alexander Bublik took the court.

Dominic Thiem also is playing in Astana, met Marcos Giron and barely scraped through.

(Beijing is 12 hours ahead of EDT; Astana is 10 hours ahead)
