Rafa, Serena top stunning Beijing bill

A total of 13 Grand Slam winners will grace the 2018 China Open in Beijing during the National Day holidays.

Asia's premier combined tennis event has again assembled a star-studded cast as it celebrates its 15th anniversary, with world No 1 Rafael Nadal, two-time Wimbledon champion Andy Murray, all-time greats Serena and Venus Williams and five-time major winner Maria Sharapova headlining a stunning cast at the National Tennis Center from Sept 23-Oct 7.

As one of only four WTA Premier Mandatory events, the outdoor hardcourt tournament never fails to attract the cream of the women's game, with 1,000 ranking points and qualification for the year-end WTA Championship awarded to the winner in the 64-spot singles main draw.
