Beijing and Tokyo press on as the WTA draw fills out

Tennis on Wednesday, September 30, 2026: ATP Beijing, ATP Tokyo, WTA Beijing. Match times, channels and the model's pick.

The day is built around three tour-level events. Chengdu and Hangzhou have finished for the day.

They are set for late evening in the United States and the small hours in the UK, with an early-afternoon slot in Australia. One match in Tokyo is already under way.

Coverage is regional. Tennis TV blocks some events in their host country, and WTA TV is blacked out in the UK and the United States.

Channels are listed from KickServe's curated rights map (updated 2026-07-25) and can change at short notice — always check your local listings.
