–

Only one tournament this week, with the BJK Cup finals going on in China.

So a good field – far superior to the 500 just completed in Guadalajara.

Still, it’s that time of the year where even the top seeds tend not to go as deep as you’d expect. So we imagine there will also be some serious surprises as the Asian swing gets under way.
