The China Open is a prestigious professional tennis tournament on the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) Tour. It is also a part of the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) Tour on the men's side. The tournament is held annually in Beijing, China.

The tournament was first held in its current iteration in 2004 as a back-to-back event for 4 years, though followed on from a Beijing ATP event in 1993. In 2004, it became a combined event for the first time.

The China Open is one of the premier events on the tennis calendar, attracting many of the top-ranked players from both the WTA and ATP Tours. It typically takes place in early October, featuring intense competition as players vie for important ranking points and substantial prize money.

The tournament is played on hard courts, which is a common surface for many top-level tennis events. The hard court surface provides a balanced playing field for players with different playing styles.

In addition to its significance in terms of rankings and prize money, the China Open is known for its state-of-the-art facilities and passionate tennis fans. The event draws large crowds and creates an electrifying atmosphere, making it a favorite among players and spectators alike.

Fun fact: In 2006, the China Open became the first tournament outside the United States to use the Hawk-Eye system in match play.

The China Open's format involves a standard single-elimination draw, with players progressing through the rounds until a champion is determined in both the men's and women's competitions.

Novak Djokovic is the only player to have won the title six times and holds the distinction of having never lost a match at the China Open. Djokovic holds the record for consecutive wins with four titles. In doubles, the Bryan brothers are the only doubles pair to have won consecutive titles.

Svetlana Kuznetsova, Serena Williams, Agnieszka Radwańska and Caroline Wozniacki hold the record for most titles won in the women's WTA tournament, with two titles each.
The current holder of the China Open title is Polish athlete Iga Swiatek who won the final in 2023. On her way to the final she defeated Coco Gauff in the semi's who was on a winning streak of 15 matches.
