The 2024 Ningbo Open is one of the newer additions to the WTA Tour, therefore it comes as no surprise that several superstars will head down to the city of Ningbo, China for the tournament from October 14-20, 2024.
A WTA 500 event, the Ningbo Open had it's inaugural edition in 2023. Tunisian star Ons Jabeur walked away with the title, defeating Diana Shnaider in the final. Although the former Wimbledon finalist is not scheduled to compete this year, there are several superstars who are eager to get their hands on the hard court trophy.
Jessica Pegula and Jasmine Paolini are the top seeds at the event, and the two-time Grand Slam finalist is hoping to add another title to her cabinet. The breakout star will be joined by Spaniard Paula Badosa, who has been in great form during the North American hard court summer season and also so far in China.
American Danielle Collins announced her retirement for the end of the 2024 season, and the 30-year old will be looking for one last hurrah when she competes at the Ningbo Open. Collins will be joined by compatriot Sloane Stephens, Sofia Kenin and Amanda Anisimova. Karolina Muchova has also entered through a protected ranking of World No.9. Below is the early list of entrants.
