We’re back into the 96-draw, two-week, midweek start format (oh, joy) with the China Open, which offers nearly $9 million in prize money.

Everyone will be there except No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka. And there’s a 32-player qualifying draw that at least gives them some tennis on Monday and Tuesday.

(Beijing is 12 hours ahead of EDT)
