The Asian swing of the ATP Tour kicks off with the 2025 Hangzhou Open, which is scheduled to run from September 17-23, 2025 in Hangzhou, China. An ATP 250 event, the inaugural Hangzhou Open was held in 2024. Former US Open champion Marin Cilic was crowned the event's first ever champion, after defeating China's Zhizhen Zhang in a hotly-contested final.
The event will see 28 singles players and 16 doubles teams battle it out for their respective titles. The tournament will be hosted at the Hangzhou Olympics Sports Centre, which is roughly 200 kilometers from Shanghai. Cilic will return to defend his title, with the Croatian fighting to prove he still has a lot left in the tank. The 36-year old has acquired a 5-5 match record this year, with his best result on the main draw being a quarterfinal appearance at the Dubai Open in February.

Predictions
Samuel Gill, Head Editor for TennisUpToDate.com isn't sure who to pick as it is a malaise of players not on form.
I think Alexander Bublik has to be favoured out of those involved. Many of the others just aren't on form.
Daniil Medvedev gets his first chance to see what he has been working on with his new coach Thomas Johannson. Andrey Rublev for me has to be the other player to watch as he should hoover up titles like this for fun.
Matteo Berrettini won the title last year and will return but he has been injured most of the year so in reality shouldn't be expecting a lot. Let's see.
Favourites:
*** Alexander Bublik
** Andrey Rublev, Daniil Medvedev
* Matteo Berrettini
Cristhian Avila, Editor for TennisUpToDate.com sees a certain Kazakh leading the way.
Not much doubts that the most inspired player in the draw is Alexander Bublik, who has rediscovered his game in recent months and won the title at his last three ATP tournaments. He is the man to beat in the draw and will have Andrey Rublev as perhaps his main contender, although the Kazakh seems slightly ahead of the Russian on this occasion. Rublev, this season, has often made deep runs but seems to lose momentum after advancing a few rounds.
What Daniil Medvedev can do is an unknown. Amid a crisis with three consecutive losses, he made major changes to his team after several years of working with Gilles Cervara. It will take some time before we see the former No. 1 back at his best, though he already knows what it's like to win titles in Asia. Other names to consider will be the return of Matteo Berrettini and Sebastian Korda. Both have been hampered by injuries, but when in good physical form, they are a challenge for anyone.
*Bublik,
** Rublev, Medvedev
***Berrettini, Korda.

Growing up in a household where soccer was king, my earliest memories are filled with chants from packed stadiums and the rhythm of a ball being passed across neighborhood streets. But somewhere along the way, the quiet elegance and raw emotion of tennis pulled me in. What began as a curiosity became a lifelong passion; not just for the sport itself, but for the stories it tells: of grit, of heartbreak, of improbable comebacks and human resilience.
As a tennis writer, I bring the observational lens of someone who didn’t grow up in the sport, but fell in love with it as an outsider; a perspective that lets me see both its technical beauty and its emotional depth. Over the years working with TennisUpToDate, I’ve had the privilege of reaching more than 3.5 million readers worldwide, with one of my features ranking among the site’s top three articles.
With a background in storytelling and a creative mind always searching for meaning beyond the scoreboard, I aim to craft narratives that go deeper than results and rankings. Whether it’s a rising star breaking through or a veteran fighting off Father Time, I try to capture the heartbeat behind the headlines.

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Enough of her bullshit. Go marry someone.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.
mandoist05-11-2026 - Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.
mandoist05-11-2026 - Vacherot is Mongasque, rather than Swiss. The tournament was Swiss :DTrwd7702-11-2026
- After a couple decades traveling to IIHF tourneys overseas... our family is done with it... and I will not be the only one!! Bad enough the NHL allows Ovachenko (a Putin Supporter and Campaigner) to live and play in the USA. Let's not forget the STATE SPONSORED RUSSIAN DOPING PROGRAMS still in effect today.
mandoist31-10-2026 - Osaka's mental state apparently does not allow her to reach any more Quarter Finals? I mean, she doesn't really have the time for tennis with all the pre-planning that must go into her 12 year-old "fashion" goals.
