Ranking Points
The singles champion earns 1,000 ranking points, the same as at every WTA 1000. Coming in October, those points land while the race to the WTA Finals is still being decided, which is why Wuhan matters more than its prize pool alone suggests.
How the Draw Affects the Pool
Wuhan runs a 56-player singles draw with byes for the leading seeds. That is smaller than the mandatory 1000-level events earlier in the year, so the pool is spread across fewer players and the early-round money goes further than the headline figure implies.
How It Compares
Wuhan sits below the combined 1000-level events such as Cincinnati, where the WTA pool has risen sharply, and well below the US Open. The WTA Finals pays a single undefeated champion more than Wuhan’s entire pool.
