–

The seeds meet in Beijing. And that includes No. 2 seed Coco Gauff vs. No. 25 seed Leylah Fernandez.

The two first met all the way back in 2018, in Fernandez’s first junior Slam, in the quarterfinals. Gauff won it, and went on to win the title. She was 14; Fernandez was 15.

With all the seeds going out, the only other seed v seed matchup of note will be No. 13 Karolina Muchova vs. No. 18 Paula Badosa, who is playing her first WTA event in months.
