Crazy most of these 1000s are 128 players draws nowadays. What differs them from a slam at this point besides byes?

Well first and foremost, along with the TV show airing in various countries and languages it's as simple as: Location, location, location !
Still a few other differences, but isn't the whole idea to promote these 1000s as close as possible to the slams.

Slams you have a day of rest between matches. For me that's HUGE. Basically mean no one is winning simply because they are more rested.
From a players perspective I'm sure they will say pay. lol
Yes, that's a big difference. Here, according to the schedule, the top half finalist has to play QF, SF and F three toughest matches in a row with no day off. I'm surprised that the #1 seed actually gets the worse scheduling compared to the #2, who has a day of rest between QF and SF. There's actually more rest in the early rounds than in the decisive final stages that's weird.
Just last year they made US Open and Cincinnati faster, so I would say it's pretty random in WTA (not shocking at all...).
Mmm…I wonder if this could ever apply to women's tennis as well in due time?

Iga is still busy exploring in Seoul, seems more likely that she requested playing catch up to the other half so she has a few days to get used to the conditions in Beijing as she won’t get there Tuesday night or Wednesday morning.

With her draw it's all on Bibi's own racket now, a Q, a puffballer and in R3 a self imploding BBB. And from there still the in the easiest quarter ! Not that bad.Bibi gotta ease back into the saddle. It's cool.

You need to visit SpecSavers if you think Bad Homburg was any sort of "walloping." A "walloping" is what Iga gave Jpeg in the WTA final in Cancun.

I prefer to look at the semi-final against Joint, where she probably served close to the best she has all year.

A reason for Svitolina’s withdrawal? Maybe she’s decided to end her season?

That won't apply in this case because it's a maintenance issue. There wouldn't be any court on the tour that isn't properly cleaned every day, starting from before the tournament begins.

Thigh injury. Just when you think she would finally play the Asian swing and earn more points after ending her season early in the last two seasons due to injuries.
