Play continues in China, with the WTA 1000 in Wuhan now underway. Emma Raducanu will attempt to bounce back from a brutain defeat in Beijing last week as she opens her campaign against Ann Li. Ahead of the tournament, the British No. 1 shared her wish to set an example to kids watching her on the court.

On the ATP side, the Shanghai Masters is in full swing. Novak Djokovic is the highest-ranked player left in the draw after some shock losses and withdrawals, including Jannik Sinner's concerning retirement. The defending champion could barely walk as he called it quits in the third set of his third-round match against Tallon Griekspoor on Sunday. Sinner's schedule is now up in the air, and he could be forced to miss next week's Six Kings Slam exhibition in Riyadh, where he banked £4.5m for lifting the trophy 12 months ago.

The hot ahd humid conditions have wreaked havoc on both tournaments - Sinner is just one of seven men to have retired in Shanghai, with many other players having their vitals checked mid-match and addressing the "brutal" weather. Meanwhile, play was suspended in Wuhan on Monday due to extreme heat.
