The 2018 Zhuhai Open Tennis Championships will feature a number of top players and local players, with last year's reigning champions and runners-up both Alepova and Zheng Saisai returning. This coastal city is looking forward to presenting a feast of professional tennis to Chinese audiences!

The men's main draw is as follows:

Exciting ATP Challenger matches

There is no shortage of highlights in the Challenger tournament, and the 2018 Zhuhai ATP Challenger continues this pattern. Tipsarevic, Granoles, Millman, Thompson, with these powerful players sitting in the men's main draw table, the excitement of the 2018 Zhuhai Open tennis tournament can be fully guaranteed.

Known as the "man of the eyes", Tipsalevic was ranked eighth in the world in 2012, reached the quarterfinals of the Grand Slam twice, and the hard power of the Serbian has long been without words. At the age of 33, he may have passed the peak of his career, but Tipsarevic wants to write a new chapter in Zhuhai with perseverance.

As the top seed in this men's singles tournament, Millman's strength should not be underestimated. After missing action for five months last year due to injury, the Australian surprisingly reached the third round of the US Open last year (equalling his best record at a Grand Slam) and beat his highly-hoped compatriot Kyrgios on his way to qualify.

The clay-friendly Granoles reached 19th in the world rankings six years ago and has won four ATP Tour titles so far in his career, proving that he has the best assets to win the 2018 Zhuhai Open, and of course, the Spain has a strong record in doubles, with Lopez not only winning the Masters doubles title, but also having the last laugh at the 2012 finals.

In addition, Kwon Chunyu, who won the Australian Open Asia-Pacific Wild Card Tournament in Zhuhai last year, and Thompson, who was selected for the Australia Davis Cup squad, are also expected; Although no Chinese players have won the main draw in the men's singles, Wu Di, Zhang Ze and Wu Yixuan have all appeared on the bench, and with the wild cards issued by the organizing committee, the Chinese men's tennis team may be able to challenge many strong players.

The main draw of the women's competition is as follows:

The 24-year-old defending champion Altova has also confirmed her participation in the Zhuhai Open. At the recent Australia Open, the Czech girl achieved her best career Grand Slam record with a fourth-round breakthrough, and as the top seed in the women's singles, Altova naturally hopes to win and defend her 11th ITF singles title here. In addition, Kum Chun, who upset Bencic at the Australian Open, Japan players Risa Ozaki and Nao Hibino will also spare no effort to challenge for the title.

Can China's Golden Flower surprise at the ITF?

Unlike the men's singles field, where no one was shortlisted, the 2018 Zhuhai Open had a total of three Chinese female players in the women's singles main draw.

Zheng Saisai, who returned from injury, chose to return to Zhuhai as the runner-up of last year's tournament to start the 2018 season. The 22-year-old Liu Fangzhou began to participate in more WTA events in the 18th season, and this time when he came to Zhuhai, Liu Fangzhou should be more adaptable to the intensity of the competition; The veteran Lu Jingjing came to Zhuhai again after more than 3 months, and I believe that the memory of winning the doubles runner-up in the WTA Super Elite in Zhuhai last year will give her more help. As for whether China Jinhua can keep the final champion in China, let's wait and see!
