Wuhan R2: Jessica Pegula vs Jelena Ostapenko Prediction: Pegula in 3 Pegula is back for the first time since the US Open, she has already qualified for the WTA Finals, was a back injury that has kept her out. Ostapenko has not had much singles success of late but did routinley take out Kasatkina.

Wuhan R2: Elina Svitolina vs Liudmila Samsonova Prediction: Svitolina in 2 Svitolina is very close to qualifying for the WTA Finals, I believe a QF would be enough if my math is correct and if players around the cutline lose, could even be earlier than that, Kostyuk already lost this week.

Qinwen Zheng out of Wuhan which is not surprising at all, played a lot of long matches in Beijing to win her first 1000 title. Andreeva also out, she qualified for the WTA Finals for the first time and it does not look like she's playing either Tokyo or Ningbo so that is where we will see her next.

Shanghai R3: Jakub Mensik vs Fran Cerundolo Prediction: Cerundolo in 3 This match will likely come down to the Mensik forehand, it was horrendous in that match in Beijing, and Cerundolo made him pay for a pretty routine win. That is definitely the flaw with Mensik's game along with 2nd serve
