The National Tennis Center, originally built for the 2008 Beijing Olympics, has hosted the China Open since 2009. Its crown jewel is the Diamond Court, which has a seating capacity of 15,000. In total, the facility has 11 courts that use advanced air-cooling technology.
(Although, sadly, the air in Beijing is already getting chilly on its own).
The China Open has just officially announced its player entry list for the 2025 championship, featuring 14 Grand Slam champions and three Chinese players, including Zheng Qinwen whose current WTA single ranking is No.7.
