The 2024 Chengdu Open is about to begin.
This ATP 250 tournament marks the start of the Asian hard-court season, especially for those who didn’t perform well at the US Open. Players can get used to China’s conditions before heading to bigger events like the China Open in Beijing or the Shanghai Masters. Some might opt for the Japan Open in Tokyo, but many prefer staying in China due to its prestigious tournaments.
Held from September 18th to 24th at Sichuan International Tennis Center, this will be Chengdu Open’s sixth edition. The list of past champions includes names like Karen Khachanov and Alexander Zverev, but none of them will compete this year, meaning a new champion will emerge.
| Name | Age | Points | Stats 2024 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🇩🇪 Alexander Zverev | 27 | 6,885 | 34 - 10 |
