I'm a bit surprised that Rybakina was taken to three sets as she seemed to be on top form recently. Paolini on the other hand just took the first set 6-1.
I really must check the ATP for OOP rather than just the WTA ! !

If you use thr TNNS app, for joint events it will show you the combined schedule of play, at least it does me!
I looked at a Beijing web site that lists, mens', womens', singles and doubles. Action starts at 4am. They seem to allow 1 hour 10 mins for each match but I suspect Lotus court also has some "not before" starts. So according to their timetable they have:-
Sonay starts at 7.30 on Moon court. Play lists 3 womens' matches before Sonay so Sonay will probably start sometime after 8.00
Emma starts at 12.00 on Lotus court. Play lists two mens' matches starting at 4am and two womens' matches starting at 8am before Emma goes on.
Always very liable to fall behind ( possibly well behind ) if they make such estimates, even with some not befores. Even Jasmine's 6-1 6-3 win was 1 hour 11 minutes just for the match, and you can essentially add at ieast 15 minutes to each match for warm ups and change over to the next match.
Start times, especially once you get 3 or 4 matches in, are so unpredictable.
