–

The WTA regular season is officially over.

But in theh week before the Tour Finals begin in Cancun, there are the “second-tier” finals in Zhuhai, and a WTA 125 in Tampico, Mexico.

Points still on hand to be won (there is an unusually big number of higher-level ITFs going on this week as well). And lots of $$$ to be won in Zhuhai, too.

Zhuhai begins only Tuesday, so the only action is from Tampico.
