Tournament Preview

The final push of the 2019 season gets underway in China as both the ATP and WTA tours roll on to Beijing with precious end of season points to play for. Here are our top China Open 2019 betting tips and predictions.

Tournament History

The China Open has been a prominent event on the calendar since its inception in 2004. Initially, the event was held in a back to back format with the women’s competition taking place the week before the men’s but since 2008 the event has been merged – giving fans the opportunity to see the world’s best in both the male and female game. The event also made history in 2006 as it was the first competition outside of the USA to introduce the Hawk-Eye system that is such an integral part of world tennis today.

Format

The event is both an ATP Masters 500 and WTA Premier Mandatory Event meaning whilst it’s a fourth tier event for the men, it is one of the biggest 5 events on the women’s calendar and is mandatory for all players who wish to maintain their ranking points for the season. With the draw being complete in just one week, the 56 players competing can expect a hectic schedule for the first part of the Asian swing.

Venue

The event takes place at the National Tennis Centre in Beijing – which was home to the tennis event at the 2008 Olympic Games. Much like all the events in the Asian swing, the tournament is played on a hard court in preparation for the WTA Tour Finals in Singapore and ATP Tour Finals in London.

Dates

Monday 30^th September – Sunday 6^th October 2019.

Previous Winners (Men’s)

For a fourth tier tour event, the China Open has a prestigious list of winners as it enters its second decade of prominence on the ATP Tour. Novak Djokovic has won the event on six previous occasions whilst Rafael Nadal last picked up the crown in 2017. Other notable winners include Andy Murray, Andy Roddick and Tomas Berdych.

Previous Winners (Women’s)

The Premier Mandatory status attached to the women’s event guarantees some of the biggest names in the game will be in attendance. Serena Williams is one of three players to have won the event twice – most recently in 2013. Russian Svetlana Kuznetsova and Pole Agnieszka Radwanska have both won the event twice whilst last year’s champion Caroline Wozniacki will be back to defend her title.
