Best in the world are on tap for China Open

It's one of the few places you can see such a stellar field outside the Grand Slams.

A cast featuring Grand Slam winners and former world No 1s is scheduled to play at this year's China Open during the National Day holiday.

The WTA and ATP combined tournament is expected to attract all the available top 47 women players and most of the top 35 men, fighting for $7,033,050 in total prize money at the National Tennis Center from Oct 1-7.
