After the end of a spiffy-quick one-week 1000 in Wuhan, the season continues.

There’s a 500-level event in NIngbo, which has a brand-new roof on Centre Court. And a 250 in Osaka, Japan with the No. 1 seed: Naomi Osaka, in her birth city.

They’re a little behind in the qualifying, so some players will have to double up in Osaka.

Canadian Victoria Mboko will try again to get something out of this Asian swing, starting off in doubles on Monday with Maya Joint against a touch team.
