2024 China Tennis Tour Jianxinyuan Tennis Open Kicks Off in‌ Chengdu

The 2024 China Tennis Tour Jianxinyuan Tennis ⁢Open commenced in Chengdu ⁢on October 26, hosted by the Tennis Management Center of the⁤ State‌ Sports General Administration and the Chinese Tennis Association.

This CTA500 amateur ​level event boasts a⁢ total prize money of 300,000 yuan​ and offers‌ 500 championship points. The tournament features five events: men’s ⁤singles, women’s singles,‍ men’s doubles, women’s⁢ doubles, and mixed doubles, attracting ⁣292⁢ players from 25 provinces and cities ​across the country and overseas.

As a national tennis brand event launched by the China Tennis Association‍ in 2020, the China ‌Tennis Tour plays a vital role in activating and opening ​up the three fronts of domestic professional tennis, amateur ​tennis, ⁤and youth tennis. This initiative promotes the “internal circulation” of the high-quality development‌ of Chinese tennis.

Guo ‌Yilin, a local athlete representative from⁢ Chengdu ‌and​ a coach, believes that the China Tennis Tour provides tennis players with more ⁤opportunities to showcase their‌ skills. “The​ registration​ for this competition is extremely popular, and it’s challenging to secure a spot. ​This ⁢trend indicates that tennis ​is gaining immense popularity in China.”

Chengdu has witnessed rapid growth in ‌tennis development in recent years, with the city hosting ⁢a‌ series of​ international events such as‌ the ATP250 Chengdu Tennis Open,‍ the ITF World​ Junior Tour (J60), and the ITF World​ Tour Youth Year-end Finals. These events enable citizens to watch high-level tennis tournaments “at their doorstep.”
