Three Guangzhou Open Entry List Storylines
Paula Badosa Brings the Biggest Name
Paula Badosa immediately jumps off this entry list. When healthy and playing confidently, she owns the kind of first-strike tennis that can overwhelm a WTA 250 field.
Guangzhou could give Badosa a chance to finish the Asian Swing with a deep run and valuable momentum before the season winds down.
Xinyu Wang Gets a Home-Court Opportunity
Xinyu Wang should have plenty of support playing at home in China. Her athleticism and ability to redirect pace make her dangerous on a hard court, and this field gives her a legitimate chance to contend.
A strong week in Guangzhou would be a terrific way for Wang to close the Asian portion of her schedule.
The Alternates Could Change Everything
This is already a solid field, but the alternate list makes it even more interesting. Sofia Kenin, Eva Lys, Jil Teichmann, and Claire Liu are all waiting for openings.
Late withdrawals are common this time of year, so the Guangzhou draw could look considerably different by the time first-round play begins.
