HUAJIN SECURITIES ZHUHAI CHAMPIONSHIPS TALKING POINTS

• The Huajin Securities Zhuhai Championships features two Top 10 players in its inaugural field: World No. 7 Stefanos Tsitsipas and World No. 10 Roberto Bautista Agut. Both are coming from the 2019 Laver Cup in Geneva, where they were named as part of eventual champions Team Europe (Bautista Agut as an alternate).

• No. 3 seed Gael Monfils has notched 23 hard-court match-wins for the season to date, which is the third-most on tour. The Frenchman, who had a career-best 15-3 start to the year, trails only (41) and (25) in hard-court victories in 2019.

• Two of the four #NextGenATP players in the field, 20-year-olds Casper Ruud and Miomir Kecmanovic, will face each other in the first round. Ruud and Kecmanovic, who are currently No. 6 and No. 7 respectively in the Race to the Next Gen ATP Finals in Milan, were doubles partners at Roland Garros and the US Open this year. They upset the No. 3-seeded team of Raven Klaasen and to reach the US Open round of 16.
