As far as 250s go, they’re definitely weaker than during the beginning of the season, but the Hong Kong field has Shnaider, Boulter, Fernandez, and Kenin, I would say that’s decent…
Merida on the other hand… well
These Asian 250 (former International or Tier III and IV back in the old days) are back and they are the easiest way to rack up points and mount a jump in the standings. They used to be held in around the spring but with the Doha & Dubai expansion they've been moved to the tail end of the season after the COVID limit was lifted.
