Get all the free WTA China Open betting tips, predictions and picks along with their latest odds for the 2024 edition of the tournament, a women’s hardcourt competition played in the Asian tennis swing.
Like some of the other WTA 1000 competitions on the women’s tennis tour, the China Open is also played over two weeks with a draw that will see 96 players feature in the main draw.
This will be the first edition of the women’s China Open with such a schedule and number having earlier been a 60-player draw in 2023.
The WTA China Open wasn’t held between 2020 and 2022 because of pandemic-related reasons but also because of the shock disappearance of a Chinese tennis player, Peng Shuai.
Having first been played in 2004, the women’s China Open has seen the likes of Serena Williams, Caroline Wozniacki, Victoria Azarenka, Maria Sharapova and Garbine Muguruza win the title here. All of these players have been former Grand Slam winners.
