In September, the Hologic WTA Tour featured hard-court tournaments across two continents, including the start of the first full Asian autumn swing since 2019. Our ninth video roundup of 2023 encompasses San Diego, Guadalajara, Osaka, Guangzhou, Tokyo and Ningbo.
Hailey Baptiste's touch shone in Guadalajara, Beatriz Haddad Maia and Yulia Putintseva showed off their reflexes and Diana Shnaider's all-court aggression enabled the teenager to surge into her first WTA final in Ningbo.
After a difficult summer, it was a joy to see Ons Jabeur at it again. The Tunisian claimed a second title of the season in Ningbo with an array of hot shots, including another tweener that had the crowd on their feet.
