Wuhan Open 2025: Entry List, Schedule of play, Prize Money, Draw, Results and Predictions

The WTA 1000 Wuhan Open has a confirmed entry list for its upcoming edition, which will be held on hard courts from October 6-12, 2025. As the final WTA 1000 of the season, it will be a crucial event for the top stars' year-end ambitions, including their potential qualification for the WTA Finals.

The defending champion is Aryna Sabalenka, who is considered the undisputed "queen of Wuhan." The Belarusian has won the title three consecutive times: in 2018, 2019, and 2024. (The tournament was canceled from 2020-2023 due to the COVID-19 pandemic). Last year, the four-time major champion defeated Zheng Qinwen in the final. Notably, Zheng was born in Wuhan, the capital of Hubei province, which is also the home of legendary Chinese tennis player Li Na.

The tournament is set to feature almost all of the sport's biggest stars. Iga Swiatek (No. 2) and Coco Gauff (No. 3) are also strong contenders for the title and will look to break Sabalenka's undefeated streak in Wuhan. This event presents a particularly good opportunity for Swiatek, who did not play last year and therefore has no points to defend. A strong performance could be key in her bid to reclaim the No. 1 ranking.

Other notable names in the draw include Americans Madison Keys, Amanda Anisimova, and Jessica Pegula, as well as Jasmine Paolini and Ekaterina Alexandrova. Other players who do not have points to defend in Wuhan include Elena Rybakina, Elina Svitolina, Naomi Osaka, and Karolina Muchova, making it a high-quality tournament to cap off the season.

Samuel GIll, Head Editor for TennisUpToDate.com sees Aryna Sabalenka returning in style.

I see Aryna Sabalenka returning to action in style with the World No.1 having some rest and relaxation in recent weeks. It's pretty easy to see why Sabalenka would be getting picked for this tournament given she has previously won it.

Also Sabalenka was widely known for this event at the very start and was one of those events that just has Sabalenka's name on it. I don't expect that to be any different on her return to Wuhan.

I also see Iga Swiatek, Coco Gauff and even Zheng Qinwen having strong weeks. Definitely one of the best fields of the autumn right here.
