Beijing and Tokyo reach the semi-final stage

Two ATP tournaments at the quarter-final and semi-final stage, a top-tier WTA draw in Beijing, and Masters qualifying in Shanghai.

On Sunday, October 4, 2026 the model makes I. Świątek a 90% favourite over D. Vekić in round of 32 at Beijing (11:00 pm ET). The market prices I. Świątek at 88%.

Four tour-level tournaments are in play. Tokyo's ATP tournament is at the same stage as Beijing's men's. In Shanghai, a Masters event is in qualifying.

The strongest card is in Beijing. One Tokyo quarter-final is already under way. Below tour level, a Challenger final is being played in Porto, and a wide set of Challenger and lower-tier WTA events are running across Europe, South America and Asia.

Australian viewers have beIN SPORTS for the ATP and beIN or Stan Sport for the WTA; Canadian coverage sits on TSN and RDS, with TVA Sports for the WTA and TSN+ as the stream. The Challenger final is free on Challenger TV, and Tennis TV warns that it sometimes blocks an event in the host country.

◆ Tour streaming passes

▸
Tennis TV — the ATP's own service: Masters 1000, 500 and 250 events plus the ATP FinalsAvailable worldwide, but geo-blocks are set per tournament and change season to season - Masters 1000 events and the Finals carry no restriction, while some 500s are blocked in their host country. No Grand Slams, no WTA.
▸
WTA TV — the WTA's own service, positioned as the fallback where there is no local broadcasterBlacked out in markets with a local rights holder, which includes the UK and the US.
▸
Challenger TV — the full ATP Challenger Tour, live and on demandFree on ATPTour.com, with a companion YouTube channel launched in 2026.
▸
WTA Unlocked — WTA 125 tournamentsFree, usually two courts per event.

Away from the four tour events, the day belongs to the Challenger and lower-tier WTA circuits, with tournaments across Europe, South America and Asia. If your match is not on a listed broadcaster where you are, the tours' own streaming services are the fallback: Challenger TV is free, and the ATP and WTA services cover the gaps their rights holders leave.

Channels are listed from KickServe's curated rights map (updated 2026-07-25) and can change at short notice — always check your local listings. Start times are earliest-possible: a match begins when the previous one on that court finishes. Win probabilities come from our rating model and are context, not betting advice.
