• 2023: Iga Swiatek won Beijing on the tournament’s return to the WTA calendar.

China Open 2026 WTA Draw & Bracket

Main Draw

The China Open 2026 women’s singles draw contained 96 players competing across seven rounds.

The format differs from a conventional 32- or 64-player tournament. The 32 seeded players receive first-round byes, while the other 64 competitors begin in the opening round. An unseeded player therefore needs seven victories to win the title, while a seeded player needs six.

There were 12 qualifier positions in the main draw, with those places decided on September 29.

World No. 1 and US Open champion Elena Rybakina was the No. 1 seed, followed by Aryna Sabalenka, Coco Gauff and Mirra Andreeva. Defending champion Amanda Anisimova withdrew before the tournament because of a left wrist injury.
