Round 1 of the main draw at the AITO Hangzhou Open brings Rinky Hijikata and Dalibor Svrcina together on Court 2 in Hangzhou, China, with the match scheduled for 2:30 AM EDT on Thursday. The opening‑round fixture on an outer court places both players at the start of the tournament, where court assignment often influences the day’s flow. A scheduled start at this hour carries the quiet urgency of a draw officially underway. With no prior match data recorded for either player in this event, the encounter begins from a level slate, and the early‑round rhythm will be shaped by the court’s conditions and the Thursday‑morning timing. The Hangzhou setting frames the proceedings, but the focus remains on the Round 1 meeting on Court 2 as the draw progresses from its first round.
