Well, we now know that the 250 Chengdu final will be Tomic vs Fognini.

250 Shenzen final still TBD but we do know that Pierre-Hugues Herbert will be one of the finalists there as he grinded out a tough, grueling 3 set victory over Alex Di Minaur. The other finalist will be either Verdasco or Nishioka (early signs say most likely Verdasco as he seems well on his way to winning that match).

Of note to me is that the semifinal losers in Chengdu actually got special exemptions into the main draw of next week's tournaments (Sousa in 500 Beijing, Fritz in 500 Tokyo) what a nice consolation prize.

Meanwhile, it looks as though Tomic the tank will get next week off regardless of whether he manages to win the Chengdu 250 title or loses to Fabio.
