Plenty for women’s tennis fans to sink their teeth into on this Saturday in Beijing.
Zheng Qinwen returns for the first time after elbow surgery – and at home in China, too. And looked impressive
Naomi Osaka and Emma Raducanu took the court, and Osaka went out.
So does Iga Swiatek, fresh from her title in Seoul.
And so did Victoria Mboko, for the first time since the US Open. She looked … rusty.
In all, eight of the 16 seeds in action went out in their openers.
(Beijing is 12 hours ahead of EDT)
