QF @ b:eijing

What a nice quarterfinal day in Beijing*. Swiatek vs Gauff and Samsonova vs Rybakina are the fixtures for tomorrow’s semifinals. All princesses and squallers out. A pity for Garcia and Sakkari.

One almost forgets about the tournament being held in a totalitarian state trampling on human rights. What happened to the Peng Shuai boycott?? All of a sudden love, peace and harmony again between China and the WTA… …oops, the HOLOGIC-WTA? Well, of course! Money rules, folks.
