The main draw action at the 2025 Wuhan Open is all set to kick off on Monday (October 6). Day 1 of the WTA 1000 tournament will feature several seeded singles players like Ekaterina Alexandrova, Clara Tauson, and Diana Shnaider. Some formerly higher-ranked pros also spearhead the action in doubles, including Sofia Kenin and Maria Sakkari.
The most interesting match on Monday will be between Alexandrova and her younger opponent, Victoria Mboko. The Canadian teen prodigy was ranked well outside the top 100 WTA rankings in June but has since achieved her career-high of 23 following an against-all-odds title victory at this year's National Bank Open.
2020 Australian Open champion Sofia Kenin, meanwhile, will team up with fellow American and doubles specialist Desirae Krawczyk for the first time at this year's Wuhan Open. They have a tough first-round match on their hands against the eighth-seeded team of Aleksandra Krunic and Anna Danilina.
