The 2024 China Open is shaping up to be the ultimate tennis spectacle, with Beijing set to host 16 Grand Slam champions and China’s brightest rising stars from September 23 to October 6. Fresh off her historic Olympic gold medal in Paris, homegrown sensation Zheng Qinwen will headline the tournament alongside mixed doubles silver medalists Zhang Zhizhen and Wang Xinyu.
This year’s lineup reads like a tennis Avengers assemble moment: men’s world No. 1 Jannik Sinner, women’s top-ranked Iga Swiatek, and fan favorites like Carlos Alcaraz and Daniil Medvedev are all confirmed. But the real story? China’s deepest player roster ever, featuring Yuan Yue, Shang Juncheng, and seven other local talents ready to serve up surprises.
With six of the ATP’s top 10 players competing and night matches returning to the iconic Diamond Court, this #ChinaOpen promises electric vibes both on and off the court. Grab your virtual popcorn – this is one cultural-sporting crossover you won’t want to miss!
