The seventh annual Ningbo Open takes place in October as some of the best women’s tennis players in the world face off in China.

The hard-court event takes place at the Yinzhou Tennis Center and it was recently upgraded to a WTA 500 tournament after the Zhengzhou Open was cancelled.

Ons Jabeur won the Ningbo Open in 2023 to scoop her first hard-court title and 15 of the top 20 players in the WTA rankings will be in the draw. However, Jabeur won’t return after her season was cut short due to a shoulder injury.

Wimbledon winner Barbora Krejcikova and Jessica Pegula, who was a US Open finalist, will feature, as will Wimbledon finalist Jasmine Paolini.

Great Britain’s Emma Raducanu was set to feature at the Ningbo Open after she was forced to retire during her Korea Open quarter-final against Daria Kasatkina due to a foot injury, but she has confirmed that she has had to withdraw.
