There are two ATP 500 events being run at the same time.  One is being held in Beijing, China, the other in Tokyo Japan.

These are the results of Wednesday’s play

[2] N Djokovic (SRB) d Troicki (SRB) 63 60
[4] N Davydenko (RUS) d P Kohlschreiber (GER) 61 60
[5] F Verdasco (ESP) d J Ferrero (ESP) 75 64
[8] [WC] M Cilic (CRO) d J Benneteau (FRA) 62 26 60

Djokovic had an easy win over fellow Serb, Viktor Troicki, who was a finalist in last week’s event in Bangkok.  Davydenko continues to play well against players that aren’t in the top 5.

Nadal is still in the tournament, but apparently didn’t play today which means he should be scheduled for play on Thursday.

Japan has the weaker field especially with Roger Federer and Andy Murray dropping out prior to the start of the tournament.

Today’s results:

Monfils d. Chiudinelli 7-6(5), 6-3

Wawrinka d. Gruel 6-3, 6-2

Next week, play commences in Shanghai China with an ATP 1000 event.  Roger Federer is also planning to skip this tournament.  However, this should attract the top ranked players.
