Top-class tennis returned to Wuhan for the first time in five years last year with the Wuhan Tennis Open, with Aryna Sabalenka winning the event for the third time.
This is set to be a cracking renewal with the top 25 in the WTA rankings all entered, including defending champion Sabalenka.
The Wuhan Tennis Open is scheduled to take place between 6th October and 12th October 2025.
The Wuhan Tennis Open takes place at the Optics Valley Tennis Centre in Wuhan, China.
The facility includes a 15,000-seat Central Court and a 5,000-seater annex forming Court 1, as well as six outer courts.
All eight are outdoor hard courts.
The Wuhan Tennis Open was one of three new tournaments in China added in 2014, taking over from the Pan Pacific Open as a Premier-5 event.
This will be the first year the event has enjoyed WTA 1000 status, making it one of the two biggest tournaments in East Asia, along with the China Open in Beijing which immediately precedes it on the calendar.
Petra Kvitova beat Eugenie Bouchard to win the inaugural title and collected a second Wuhan crown two years later, while Venus Williams took the prize in 2015.
Garcia beat Ash Barty to the title in 2017, before Sabalenka's three triumphs.
