According to the official website, the event begins on Friday, Sept. 20. Are they talking about qualies or just ceremonial activities?

What's wrong with Carla?

What's wrong with Carla?

Same injury she had at the USO. She will be back for the 2020 season.

 

[Paullow Badosa]

Could Konta take a WC here without any restrictions if she wanted to play, i.e. out of the tournaments hands because of past success like winning Miami, or would it be down to the tournament?

Yes, she is eligible for top 20 WC but if there is more than one request it is up to the tournament. Osaka has one already

Venus Williams has a top 20 WC . So nothing for Konta @Paullow

Thanks, so how does that work? Those eligible for a Top 20 WC request one and then the tournament decides who they'd rather have in, and not based on current rankings or anything?

This BBC tennis correspondent seemed to suggest that it was basically hers if she wanted one. Stosur is quite popular in China, especially with the Zhang link, and there's also the Wang Qiang situation - if Sabalenka doesn't get to the Zhengzhou final, Wang will be ranked 12th heading into Wuhan, and with Konta and Serena not invovled she would be the 10th seed, and would just need Andreescu (possibly) and one other (Kvitova maybe) to withdraw and then she'd be a top 8 seed and get a 1st round bye. I'm probably looking into it too closely, but that would be another reason to choose a Stosur type over her.

Konta may not even want to play anyway. :lol:

Fair enough, and that's a decent coup for the tournament anyway. Konta really should have signed up and then withdrew nearer the time if she didn't want to play. Any Shenzhen hopes she had are all but gone unless she wins Beijing.

yes, the tournament decides unless the WTA uses it to meet the players commitment (minimum 7 top 10 in premier 5)
