Tennis Tracker: Zheng and Kasatkina in early action after Kenin battles past Tauson
07:30 CET - Good morning and welcome back to the Tennis Tracker this Thursday morning!
The WTA Tour is still in Asia, which means there has already been a result in the very early hours in Tokyo, with Sofia Kenin (25) recovering from a set down to outlast Clara Tauson (21) 6-7(8), 6-4, 7-6(6) in an epic contest.
Currently on court is last week's Ningbo champion Daria Kasatkina (27), who is taking on McCartney Kessler (25). No. 1 seed Qinwen Zheng (22) will take to the court a little later on as she looks to continue her fine 2024 ahead of a debut appearance at the WTA Finals in a few weeks time.
Over in Guangzhou at the moment, another No. 1 seed Katerina Siniakova (28) is playing, as she looks to move into the quarter-finals.
Later on in the day, Vienna hosts Jack Draper (22), Grigor Dimitrov (33) and Alex De Minaur (25), while Stefanos Tsitsipas (26), Holger Rune (21) and two-time defending champion Felix Auger-Aliassime (24) will aim to secure a place in the last eight in Basel.
