Chengdu Open - Chengdu

An ATP 250 on outdoor hard in Chengdu, sharing a week with Hangzhou before Tokyo, Beijing and Shanghai. The Laykold plays quick, so points shorten and the serve leads: holds sit at 84% and aces come often. Barely half of matches finish in straights, which is low enough to keep upsets in range. Zverev, Khachanov, Tabilo and Shang have all won here.
