Tournament History
The Jinan Open, also previously known as the Jinan International Open, was first held in 2017. Since its inauguration, the tournament has been a significant stop on the professional circuit in Asia. It holds the unique distinction in China of being the only city to host both a high-level ATP Challenger (Challenger 125) and a WTA 125 tournament.
The event has been instrumental in the development of Chinese tennis, with local players often featuring prominently. Notable past champions include Chinese star Zhang Zhizhen, who won the singles title in 2019, and Wu Yibing, the 2024 men’s singles champion. The tournament returned to the calendar in 2024 after a four-year hiatus, further solidifying its place in the annual Chinese tennis swing. Its upgrade to the Challenger 125 status for the men’s event in 2025 signaled a growing commitment to high-level tennis in the region.
Venue
The 2025 Jinan Open was held at the Jinan Olympic Sports Center (Jinan Olysee). This world-class facility is a central hub for sports in Jinan and provided the ideal infrastructure for the dual-gender tournament. The outdoor hard courts offered a fast and consistent playing surface. The stadium and surrounding courts, which had recently undergone renovation, provided players with a professional environment and spectators with an excellent viewing experience, highlighting the city’s commitment to hosting high-level international sporting events.
Organization and Sponsorship
The tournament was officially known as the Guoyuan V3 Jinan Open, acknowledging its primary sponsor. While the specific organizing body is often the local sports bureau in collaboration with the Chinese Tennis Association and the respective tours (ATP and WTA), the strong involvement of local government and sponsors underscored the event’s importance to the city.
Player Fields
Both the men’s and women’s draws featured competitive fields due to the high ranking points and prize money on offer.
The men’s singles main draw had 32 players, with an additional 32 players competing in the qualifying rounds. The top seeds included former ATP top 100 players such as Arthur Cazaux (No. 1 seed), Adam Walton, and Laslo Djere. Other notable entrants included American Mackenzie McDonald and Japanese player Shintaro Mochizuki. Local wildcards were given to Chinese players, including Cui Jie, Sun Fajing, and Yi Zhou.
The women’s singles main draw also consisted of 32 players. The field was led by seeds such as Anastasia Zakharova (No. 1 seed), Anna Bondár, and Léolia Jeanjean. The tournament also attracted Chinese talent, with a wildcard awarded to Zhu Lin and Bai Zhuoxuan competing with a protected ranking.
