WUHAN, China—The draw for the Dongfeng Voyah Wuhan Open is out, and there could be fireworks in store when the second leg of back-to-back WTA 1000 events of the Asian Swing kicks off on Monday.
With most players arriving from Beijing, the singles draw is a mix of experienced veterans—like two-time champion Aryna Sabalenka, the heavy favorite and top seed who claimed back-to-back titles here in 2018 and 2019.
But as the tournament returns to the WTA Tour calendar for the first time since 2019, there are also plenty of big names who have never competed here before—including No. 4 seed Coco Gauff.

Anchoring the top half of the draw, Sabalenka and Gauff are on a semifinal collision course with the American leading their head-to-head 4-3. Most recently, Sabalenka took down Gauff in the Australian Open semifinals en route to the title, claiming revenge after the American’s victory in their 2023 US Open final clash.
Sabalenka awaits the winner of Katerina Siniakova and wildcard Alexandra Eala in the second round, while Gauff will make her debut against either Ashlyn Krueger or Viktoriya Tomova in the second round.
