Two more Laver Cuppers take to the court in Alex de Minaur and Alexander Zverev. Both got through.

And Alexander Bublik, a champion just Tuesday night in Hangzhou, jumped back on in Beijing, back in the anomymity of the third court and unseeded. It seems the turnaround was too quick.

Chengdu finalist Lorenzo Musetti, heartbroken in that final, might not have seen much of the ball against the big-serving Mpetshi Perricard – he was outaced 14-4. But he found a way, for the fourth straight time against the big Frenchman, to get through a tight one.

They must all feel like they’re on the hamster wheel right now.
