Beijing's title day, with Shanghai and Wuhan busy

Beijing plays out its semi-final and final while Shanghai and Wuhan work through their early rounds.

On Saturday, October 10, 2026 the model makes Z. Sönmez a 51% favourite over S. Kraus in qualifying at Wuhan (11:05 pm ET). The market prices Z. Sönmez at 88%.

The day's tennis is centred on China, with three events in play. Beijing is the furthest along: the China Open card holds a semi-final and the final.

The timing suits different audiences. For viewers in the United States the play runs from the small hours into the morning, in the UK and Ireland it fills the afternoon, and in Australia it belongs to the evening.

Where you can watch depends on where you are. In the United States both tours are carried by Tennis Channel and its app. In the UK and Ireland the tennis sits on Sky Sports Tennis, with NOW and Sky Go for streaming. Canadian viewers have TSN, with RDS for the men's event and TVA Sports for the women's, plus TSN+. In Australia, beIN SPORTS holds the rights, with Stan Sport taking the WTA events there. Tennis TV streams the Shanghai Rolex Masters but availability varies by territory, and WTA TV only serves as a fallback where no local broadcaster holds the rights.
