ByAndrew Symond

The WTA Hong Kong Open is set to take place from October 28 to November 3, 2024, bringing top tennis talent to the city. This event will showcase several of the Tour’s superstars, highlighting the significance of Hong Kong in the Asian tennis landscape.

The Hong Kong Open, a WTA 250 event, debuted in 2014 with German player Sabine Lisicki as its inaugural champion. After a hiatus due to the pandemic, the tournament returned last year, where Canadian Leylah Fernandez triumphed over Katerina Siniakova in the final. Fernandez will be back to defend her title in the upcoming 2024 edition.

American Danielle Collins will be competing in what is expected to be one of her final professional tournaments at the Hong Kong Open, as she announced her retirement plans for the end of the season. Joining her will be fellow Americans Taylor Townsend and Bernarda Pera, both of whom are also set to participate in the event.

Great Britain’s Emma Raducanu, who had to retire due to injury at the Korea Open, is set to make her return to the tour at the Hong Kong Open. She will be joined by four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka, rising Russian star Diana Shnaider, and fellow Brit Katie Boulter. This promises to be an exciting lineup for the event.
