–

It was a rough go in Ningbo, with so many withdrawals – including the top two seeds.

To the point where they were going back to the first round qualifying losers to find live bodies.

But in the end the two semifinals were top-class on paper. In real life they had two injury retirements.

In Osaka, qualifiers rule. But tennis didn’t – total rainout.
