The end of Wuhan means the WTA Tour splits up, but remains in Asia.
A 500 in Ningbo and a 250 in Osaka take place this week, with more in Asia to come.
Already, Daria Kasatkina, Jasmine Paolini and Liudmila Samsonova are among the late scratches.
And Leylah Fernandez, who along with Bianca Andreescu was to be at the smaller event in Osaka. (Andreescu is still in).
(Osaka is 13 hours ahead of EDT; Ningbo is 12 hours ahead)
