WTA China Open 2025 - Women's Tennis Betting Odds, Tips & Live Stream
The Grand Slam events of tennis are over for 2025, but that doesn’t mean that the action has stopped. The WTA Tour continues with the China Open, and the greatest players will descend on Beijing for one of Asia’s premier tennis events.
It has become one of the most popular sports betting options in tennis, and it already looks to be an exciting 2025 edition. We’ll detail everything you need to know about the WTA Beijing China Open, the top talents, and how to bet on tennis here at Stake online sportsbook.
Introduction to the WTA China Open 2025 Tennis Betting
As part of the WTA Tour, the China Open is one of the calendar’s top events. The China Open is a WTA 1000 event, meaning that it sits just below the four Grand Slam tournaments - Wimbledon, the US Open, the Australian Open, and the French Open - and the WTA Finals in importance.
It’s one of 10 events that make up the circuit, which includes the Canadian Open, the Cincinnati Open, and even the Wuhan Open, another event held in China. Its position on the tour makes it one of the most lucrative in terms of both prize money and WTA ranking points.
When is the WTA China Open 2025?
The China Open will take place from September 24, where the first round of matches will take place, until the final on October 5. It will take place at the China National Tennis Center in Beijing.
History of the WTA China Open Tournament
The China Open is a relatively young tournament, especially when compared with the Grand Slams. While the men’s ATP tournament began in 1993, the women’s singles didn’t begin until the competition’s reinstatement in 2004, following a six-year hiatus.
The first winner was Serena Williams, and she would go on to become the joint most successful player in the tournament with two titles. The last three winners, Coco Gauff, Iga Swiatek, and Naomi Osaka have all been first-time winners, so there is hope there will be a new record-holder soon, with those three all expert picks for this year.
Who is Playing in the 2025 WTA China Open?
All the best women players will be gracing the hard courts in Beijing, and you can expect to see some big names looking to take home some of the record prize pool.
We’ve picked out a few names from the women’s singles based on their form and interesting narratives that could drag them over the line as winners, especially as World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka has withdrawn:
Zengh Qinwen
Qinwen is a Chinese tennis star. Reaching as high as No. 4 in the world rankings, she has an Olympic Gold to her name and will be looking to add another win to her five career titles.
Beatriz Haddad Maia
The Brazilian has tumbled down the world rankings since her peak of breaching the top 10 in 2023. Her performance in the Korea Open, in which she was defending champion, was poor, and she will be looking to bounce back.
Mirra Andreeva
Russian teenager Andreeva may only have two career titles, but she is the fourth seed in this year’s event and fifth in the WTA rankings. She could claim a big win here at just 18 years old.
Format and Schedule of the WTA China Open
The match-ups have yet to be decided, but this is a straight knockout tournament, so you will have to keep an eye on the next matches once the draws and the early qualifying winners come in. However, these are the key dates to keep in mind:
22-23 September: Qualifying
24 September: First Round Begins
02 October: Semifinals
05 October: Final
