Shanghai rounds and Beijing semi-finals lead the day

Beijing's quarter-finals and semi-finals share the day with Shanghai's round of sixty-four and thirty-two, plus qualifying at the Wuhan Open.

On Friday, October 9, 2026 the model makes V. Golubić a 52% favourite over D. Kasatkina in qualifying at Wuhan (11:00 pm ET).

Shanghai carries the deepest card of the day.

Beijing is the most advanced event on the schedule. The China Open, a WTA 1000, has reached its quarter-final and semi-final stage, and the featured quarter-final there is set for the morning in the United States and the afternoon in Britain, with Australia watching late in the evening. The Wuhan Open, also a WTA 1000, has its qualifying being played, with the model's picks drawn from those qualifying matches.

Coverage differs by region. Australian viewers get beIN SPORTS and beIN SPORTS CONNECT, while Stan Sport carries the WTA events under a sub-licence from beIN. In Canada it is TSN, RDS and TVA Sports, plus TSN+, Tennis TV and WTA TV. Tennis TV availability varies by territory, and WTA TV is blacked out where a local rights holder sits, including the UK and the US.
