Indoor hard courts in Europe and Asia carry the day

Five tour-level events across Europe and Asia, with the women's card in Ningbo the strongest of the day.

On Monday, October 19, 2026 the model makes C. Liu a 51% favourite over M. Linette in round of 32 at Osaka (10:30 pm ET). The market prices C. Liu at 34%.

Five tour-level events are on the card. Two indoor ATP events in Europe, Lyon and Brussels, run alongside another in Almaty, and Osaka hosts the second of the women's tournaments.

Matches are already under way in Ningbo, Almaty and Osaka, while most of the card at every event is still ahead. Shanghai and Wuhan have finished for the day.

In the United States, Tennis Channel carries all five events, with Tennis TV adding main-court ATP coverage; outside courts at this level are not included. UK viewers have Sky Sports Tennis, and in Australia it is beIN SPORTS, with Stan Sport streaming the women's events. In Canada, TSN+ takes a large share of the slate, TSN shows selected women's matches, Tennis TV covers the ATP and WTA TV the women's events.
