The concern regarding the heated weather conditions for playing at the Wuhan Open was also raised by the current World No. 2, Iga Swiatek, and British talent Emma Raducanu.

Through her Instagram story, the Polish sensation also shared her weather woes, wringing her sweaty shirt after engaging in a practice session at the Voyah Wuhan Open venue.
Bianca Andreescu reflects on her personal struggles and mindset while aiming to return to the top
Bianca Andreescu reflected on her mindset and the struggles she faces as she aims to return to her superior form. She also highlighted the role injuries had on her playing form.
"It is certainly a blow to the ego, but I have to put that to one side. It was many years ago that I won the US Open and so much has happened since then. I still have big ambitions. So finding that balance of being patient and being that go-getter that I am to try and get back to the top is a bit tricky," she shared via Tennis365.
She continued:
"The problem is that I have been so on and off (with injuries) that I don’t have much rhythm in my playing style. That is going to be a big thing to get back to the top."
In the round of 16, Andreescu and Yuan will play against Jasmine Paolini and Sara Errani.
