Further information: 2024 China Open

Coco Gauff defeated Karolína Muchová in the final, 6–1, 6–3 to win the women's singles tennis title at the 2024 China Open.[1] It was her second WTA 1000 title and eighth career singles title. Gauff became the second American woman to win the China Open, after Serena Williams, and the youngest women's singles champion at the tournament since Caroline Wozniacki in 2010.[2] Ranked as the world No. 49, Muchová was the lowest ranked woman to reach the final since the tournament's inception in 2004.[3]

Iga Świątek was the reigning champion,[4] but withdrew before the start of the tournament.[5]

The first round match between Sara Sorribes Tormo and Gao Xinyu lasted for 4 hours and 15 minutes, becoming the fourth-longest match on the WTA Tour in the Open Era, surpassing the Thailand Open second round match between Laura Siegemund and Wang Xiyu from the previous week.[6]

With her win over McCartney Kessler in the first round, Zhang Shuai claimed her first tour-level win since the 2023 Lyon Open, ending her streak of 24 consecutive losses. Zhang's streak marked the second-longest consecutive losing streak for a woman in the Open Era (after Madeleine Pegel with 29).[7] Zhang's second round win against Emma Navarro also saw her become the lowest ranked player (at No. 595) to defeat a top 10 player since the inception of the tournament in 2004.[8][9]

Seeded players

The following are the seeded players based on WTA rankings as of 16 September 2024. Rankings and points before are as of 23 September 2024.[10]

Under the 2024 WTA Rulebook, points from six of the seven combined/virtually combined ATP/WTA 1000 tournaments (which include Beijing) are required to be counted in a player's ranking.[11] Because the tournament is being expanded to two weeks this year, players are also defending points from the tournaments that took place during the week of 25 September 2023 (Tokyo and Ningbo).

The points dropping column reflects (a) points from the 2023 tournament and/or Tokyo / Ningbo, (b) the player's sixth best combined ATP/WTA 1000 tournament or (c) the player's 18th best result. The points won column reflects the points from the 2024 tournament.
