National Tennis Center, Beijing.

Tennis returns to the China Open 2023 in Beijing for the first time since 2019. The last few editions of the tournament were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in China, as well as the fallout following the disappearance of the Chinese WTA player Peng Shuai. Naomi Osaka won the last edition of the tournament defeating the former world no.1 Ashleigh Barty (3-6, 6-3, 6-2) to win her second WTA 1000 title, in 2019.

The women’s entry list is packed and features almost the whole of the top 50 in the WTA rankings. Every player featured in the WTA top-16 ranking is participating in the tournament. The top 4 seeds for the tournament are – Aryna Sabalenka, Iga Swiatek, Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula in that order. The WTA is trialing performance-byes in the tournament which means that top-4 seeds don’t automatically get a bye.
