The Wuhan Open is set to make a return to the women's tennis schedule after a hiatus since 2019. Organizers have confirmed that the tournament will take place in Wuhan, China, in October. This marks a significant comeback for the 1000-level event, which was last held before the outbreak of COVID-19 in the city.
Wuhan, known for being the hometown of former tennis champions like Li Na, has witnessed a surge in the popularity of the sport over the past two decades. The city gained further prominence as the site of the first lockdown during the early stages of the pandemic in January 2020.
