Tournament Overview

The China Open is an ATP 500 event on outdoor hard courts at the China National Tennis Center in Beijing. It shares its venue with the WTA 1000 China Open and is played across that event's first week, with a 32-player men's singles draw. Alongside the Japan Open in Tokyo it headlines the second week of the Asian swing, and it leads straight into the Shanghai Masters.

Novak Djokovic is the 2026 champion, winning a record seventh title when Alex de Minaur retired injured in the final, trailing 7-6(3), 0-1. Jannik Sinner won the 2025 edition, beating Learner Tien 6-2, 6-2 for his second Beijing title, having won in 2023 and lost the 2024 final to Carlos Alcaraz in a deciding-set tie-break. The tournament was not held from 2020 to 2022.

Sinner was not in the 2026 draw. Alexander Zverev was the top seed after winning Roland-Garros and the US Open, ahead of Félix Auger-Aliassime and Daniil Medvedev. Novak Djokovic, then the record six-time champion, was seeded sixth, and Learner Tien returned as the No. 7 seed. Tien, Auger-Aliassime and the No. 4 seed Flavio Cobolli all lost in the first round. Zverev went out in the quarter-finals, beaten 4-6, 6-4, 6-4 by Djokovic. Daniil Medvedev was disqualified from his semi-final against Djokovic, and Hubert Hurkacz retired injured against de Minaur.
