Four-week tennis carnival in Beijing featuring WTA 1000, ATP 500 and ITF events with Sinner, Sabalenka and other stars.
Four separate tournaments run back to back. The ITF World Tennis Tour Juniors J300 starts first, on 13 September. From 21 September, amateur players compete at the ITF World Tennis Masters Tour MT400 Beijing event at the National Tennis Center. The main draws — WTA 1000 and ATP 500 — run from 28 September to 11 October, with the ATP singles champion crowned on 6 October and the WTA singles final on 11 October.
The committee announced its first group of confirmed players on 31 July. On the men's side: Jannik Sinner, world No. 1 and defending champion here; Alexander Zverev, world No. 2 and reigning French Open champion; Flavio Cobolli, recently into the top 10; and Félix Auger-Aliassime, world No. 4. The women's singles draw again holds 96 players, with the top 75 in the WTA rankings entering directly. On current rankings, world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka, former China Open champions Naomi Osaka, Iga Świątek, Coco Gauff and Amanda Anisimova, along with Elena Rybakina and Mirra Andreeva, are expected in the main draw. Wang Xinyu leads the Chinese entry; Zhang Shuai and Guo Hanyu are expected in the women's doubles.
Sales opened at 10:00 on 5 August. Registered China Open members buying between 5 and 18 August were offered discounts of up to 20 percent. Beyond standard tickets, the tournament said it would release combined finals packages (双巅峰决赛套票), Golden Week time-slot passes (黄金周分时段通票) and Diamond Mystery Boxes (钻石盲盒) after sales began.
For a visitor, the practical questions are unanswered in the announcement. The committee has not published ticket prices, which platform or box office sells them, whether an overseas payment card is accepted, whether a Chinese mobile number or WeChat account is needed to register or complete a purchase, or whether passport-based real-name registration applies at purchase or at the gate. Nor has it stated how membership registration works or whether non-residents can join. It has also said nothing about a registration or purchase deadline for any of the four tournaments. Treat all of this as not yet announced rather than as absent; the committee has said more information will be released as the event approaches.
The venue will have 80 food and beverage outlets. Spectator areas with lightweight sunshades and ambient lighting are planned around the West Square and the Lotus Court, plus three dedicated lounging zones. Merchandise — more than 600 products across 12 categories, covering souvenirs, tennis equipment, everyday items and collectibles — goes on sale through several online channels from 18 August, and a 1,000-square-metre flagship store opens on site on 12 September. Co-branded products with SIGG, TOPPS, DAKA and HERE (奇梦岛) are also planned.

Nobody from our team has been to this one, and we have not called the organisers — where they have not published something, this page says so rather than filling the gap.
