History-Making Di Wu Seeks Elusive Atp World Tour Win CHENGDU OPEN: DAY 2 MEDIA NOTES Tuesday, September 27, 2016 Sichuan International Tennis Center, Chengdu, China | September 26-October 2, 2016 Draw: S-28, D-16 | Prize Money: $840,915 | Surface: Outdoor Hard ATP World Tour Info Tournament Info ATP PR & Marketing www.ATPWorldTour.com www.ChengduOpenTennis.com Richard Evans: [email protected] Twitter: @ATPWorldTour Twitter: @ChengduOpen Karina Duckitt: [email protected] Facebook: @ATPWorldTour Facebook: @ChengduOpenTennis Press Room: +86 28 8589 3129 HISTORY-MAKING DI WU SEEKS ELUSIVE ATP WORLD TOUR WIN DAY 2 PREVIEW: Di Wu etched his name in the record books on January 31 when he upset top seed and current World No. 54 Kyle Edmund in Maui, USA to become the first ATP Challenger Tour singles champion from China. The Chinese No. 2 hopes to break through again at the Chengdu Open on Tuesday when he meets Konstantin Kravchuk. Wu is 0-13 lifetime in ATP World Tour and Grand Slam main draw matches, coming closest to his first victory when he held a match point against Marin Cilic at 2015 ATP Masters 1000 Shanghai. All 17 of Wu’s tour-level wins have come as a member of China’s Davis Cup team. Also in first-round action is Czech qualifier Radek Stepanek, who turns 38 on November 27. By defeating Japanese players Takuto Niki and Go Soeda over the weekend, Stepanek qualified for the eighth time on tour in 2016, tied for the lead with Shenzhen Open qualifier Mischa Zverev. Stepanek won his main draw opener at five of the previous seven tournaments in which he qualified. His opponent Tuesday is Yen-Hsun Lu, who extended his own record with his 23rd and 24th Challenger titles at grass-court events in June. Among the other matches scheduled for Stadium Court is the first meeting between World No. 36 Marcos Baghdatis and World No. 39 Pablo Carreño Busta. Both are coming off strong showings at the US Open, where Baghdatis reached the fourth round of a major for the first time since 2009. As for Carreño Busta, the 2013 ATP World Tour Most Improved Player of the Year is again a contender for the award. He’s reached the first seven tour-level finals of his career in 2016 (3 singles, 4 doubles), highlighted by the Winston- Salem singles title and a US Open runner-up finish with countryman Guillermo Garcia-Lopez in doubles. Taking to the outer courts are No. 5 seed Albert Ramos-Viñolas, No. 8 seed Paolo Lorenzi and 17-year- old wild card Casper Ruud. Ramos-Viñolas (Båstad) and Lorenzi (Kitzbühel) won the first tour-level titles of their respective careers in July, while Ruud is making his ATP World Tour debut after winning the Seville, ESP Challenger title on September 10. In doubles, No. 1 seeds Raven Klaasen and Rajeev Ram continue their quest for qualification at the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals against Yecong He and Fajing Sun.

  • 2020 Western & Southern Open Doubles Field
    Western & Southern Open Defending Champions Headline Doubles Fields CINCINNATI (Aug. 11, 2020) – Both the women’s and men’s defending champions are among the initial entries to play doubles at the 2020 Western & Southern Open, which will be held Aug. 20-28 at the USTA Billie Jean King Tennis Center in New York. The 2019 WTA doubles winners – Lucie Hradecka and Andreja Klepac – are joined by the ATP Tour champions – Ivan Dodig and Filip Polasek – to headline the early entries. Other notable entries on the women’s side include the teenage pairing of Cincinnati’s 18-year-old Caty McNally and 16-year-old Coco Gauff. Dubbed “McCoco,” the duo won a pair of WTA titles in 2019 – at Washington, D.C. and Luxembourg – and reached the US Open Round of 16. Elise Mertens and Aryna Sabalenka, who finished 2019 atop the WTA Porsche Race to Shenzen as the season’s No. 1 team, are also in the field. Reigning Australian Open singles champion Sofia Kenin, a 21-year- old American, has entered with former Western & Southern Open singles and doubles winner Victoria Azarenka. The top two teams in the ATP Tour doubles race are entered in the men’s draw. The No. 1 team of Juan Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah is returning after reaching two straight Western & Southern Open finals. They are joined in the field by the No. 2 team of Lukasz Kubot and Marcelo Melo. The ATP Tour No. 1 ranked singles player, Novak Djokovic, has entered the doubles draw with countryman Filip Krajinovic. An additional five women’s teams and six men’s duos will join the fields through on-site entries, while the tournament will award three wild cards into each draw to complete the 32-team fields.
