History
The 2025 Huzhou Open marks the inaugural edition of this professional tennis tournament. While this is the first WTA-level event in Huzhou, the city has a long history with tennis, with some of the earliest tennis courts in Zhejiang province dating back to the early 20th century. The new Huzhou International Tennis Center was built to support the city’s ambition to become a hub for professional tennis in China and to host a variety of international tournaments. The establishment of this WTA 125 event is a significant step in achieving that goal, providing a new opportunity for players to compete in the region.
