Guangzhou International Women's Open - Guangzhou

A WTA 250 on outdoor hard in Guangzhou, deep in the autumn Asian stretch with Wuhan and Ningbo. The court measures much faster than these players are used to, though the serve gains less than that suggests: holds sit at 69% and aces are modest. Only half of matches finish in straights, which makes this one of the more open weeks of the swing. Zhang has two titles here, Li one.
