Roberto Bautista had high expectations for what he could achieve in this ATP 500 Beijing 2024 due to his good performance in recent weeks, but he encountered an improved version of Jiri Lehecka compared to the one he faced in the Davis Cup. The Spaniard ended up yielding to the Czech's solidity by 3-6 6-2 6-1. Additionally, Flavio Cobolli defeated Kotov by 6-4 6-2.

It seemed that losing in the round of 16 of the ATP 500 in Tokyo to Jack Draper would be the worst news of the week for Hubert Hurkacz, but there was still time for even worse news to come his way. The Polish player, who was looking forward to the Masters 1000 in Shanghai due to conditions that suit him perfectly, will ultimately miss this event due to injury. What does this mean? It means he won't be able to defend his title, he will lose 1000 points, and consequently, he will drop out of the top 10 by the end of the Asian tour. We can only hope that it's not too serious and that we can still see him compete this season.

Cristina Bucsa is having a very commendable season, and the step she has taken in this WTA 1000 Beijing 2024 is very important for her career. The Santander native is already in the third round after managing to defeat one of the best in the world, such as Liudmila Samsonova, the eleventh seed in the tournament. The result was 6-1 4-6 6-4 in favor of Bucsa, who will now face Elise Mertens.

This Friday, September 27, marks a before and after in the history of Wimbledon. After investing €65 million in some land near the All England Club a few years ago, the London City Council has finally given the green light for the massive expansion of the third Grand Slam of the season. We will witness the construction of 39 new courts so that the event can host the qualifiers on the same grounds and not in Roehampton, although the project's dates suggest it might not be completed until around 2030.
Of those 39 courts, one will hold 8,000 spectators, a third stadium with a roof will be built, and a total of 50,000 more people will be able to attend Wimbledon each day, a huge growth so that it doesn't fall behind the other Slams. What's the downside? The environmental impact the area will face due to the construction, although it seems that the economic benefits have ended up carrying more weight in the Council's decision.

The WTA 1000 in Beijing started for Coco Gauff with a solid victory against Clara Burel (7-5, 6-3), the best way to kick off the Asian tour. Now, the draw sets her up against Katie Boulter in the next slot, but before that, it's time to pause and analyze a remarkable statistic she achieved today. The American has matched the record held by Caroline Wozniacki of 46 wins in WTA 1000 events on hard courts before turning 21. This means that with one more win, she will completely surpass this milestone. To speak of precocity is to speak of Gauff, there's no doubt about that.

Andrey Rublev has a clear goal in mind: to secure his fifth consecutive participation in the ATP Finals. Being in Turin is a top priority for the Russian, who is tackling the Asian tour with the aim of accumulating points and victories to end the year on a high note. He took the first step in his debut at the ATP Beijing 2024, where he nearly achieved perfection in an immaculate first set against Pablo Carreño; however, Carreño managed to turn the situation around, but in the third set, Andrey's current authority and greater confidence made the difference (6-0, 4-6, 6-4). Rublev's forehand proved to be a weapon too devastating for a determined Carreño, who can still depart proud of his progress. In the second round, Andrey will face off against Alejandro Davidovich.

It's a pleasure to watch Alejandro Davidovich play when he's in the zone. The Malaga native embraced the role of counterpuncher and ultimately frustrated Zhizhen Zhang in his debut at the ATP Beijing 2024, dealing a tough blow to the home favorite (6-3, 4-6, 6-3). Perhaps most noteworthy was the way in which Foki maintained his composure mentally after dropping the second set, a set in which both players showcased spectacular points. Alejandro once again savors the taste of victory and will face Andrey Rublev in the second round.

In recent days, a very interesting debate has arisen in the tennis world regarding the calendar and exhibitions. Are they the same thing? Do the complaints of the top players about the calendar have legitimacy when, on the other hand, they use weeks in their schedule to play exhibitions solely for money? The latest to speak out, following a debate that gained momentum thanks to John Millman and Taylor Fritz, was a clear Denis Shapovalov in his arguments.
"In my opinion, if players were to earn a decent amount of money throughout the season, they wouldn't feel the need to play exhibitions during rest weeks. Instead, tennis players (except perhaps the top 20) only earn a decent amount of money four times a year (the Slams). Therefore, players obviously go to exhibitions to earn good money. In addition to the prize money, there are taxes, percentages, salaries, and costs that we tennis players have to pay. Tennis isn't like other sports where you keep all the money you earn. There are many costs if you're a tennis player. I'm not saying we don't make money, I'm just saying we make a lot more money playing exhibitions."
In my opinion if players would make decent money during the season they wouldn’t feel the need to play exhos in off weeks. Instead, players (aside from maybe top 20) only make decent money 4 times a year (slams). So it’s a no brainer for players to go play echos for good cash

With the calendar change for 2025, the Estoril tournament is left without a place in the clay court season. Therefore, the ATP will downgrade it to a Challenger 175 for 2025, taking place the second week of the Madrid tournament, which is advantageous for players who are eliminated early in the Spanish event. However, for 2026 and 2027, it will return to its normal ATP 250 category, albeit shifting to the week following Miami, causing a scheduling chaos with up to four 250-level tournaments coinciding in the same week: Bucarest, Marrakech, Houston, and Estoril. We will see what happens by then.
Big news from the @EstorilOpen:
— José Morgado (@josemorgado) September 27, 2024
- Naming sponsor renewed for 3 more years
- 2025 is an ATP CH 175 during the 2nd week of Madrid
- Back to ATP 250 in 2026 and 2027 (likely week after Miami)
Event will keep the same venue, stadium, fun center, VIP lounge, hotel, social media… pic.twitter.com/mCa20YuwHP
