China Open (tennis)

China Open (tennis) is an annual professional tennis tournament held in Beijing, China.

The men’s singles and doubles events were first held in 1993, the year when the Qatar Open and Dubai Tennis Championships were introduced as part of the Association of Tennis Professionals’ Asian tournament tour. However, the tournament in Beijing was dropped out from ATP’s calendar in 1998 and wasn’t reinstated until 2004. In the same year, WTA Tour women’s singles and doubles events were moved from Shanghai to Beijing.

In 2006, China Open became the first tournament outside the United States to use Hawk-Eye system in the matches. In 2008, the total prize money of the tournament reached US$1.085 million.

The event is now considered on the same level as BNP Paribas Open (Indian-Wells Masters), Miami Masters and Mutua Madrid Open.

Michael Chang and Novak Djokovic are the only two who claimed the men’s singles title at the tournament more than once.
