She is the only player who has won the China Open and Wuhan Open titles in the same season

The two WTA 1000 tournaments take place back-to-back, with Qinwen Zheng having just won the China Open after a final victory over Mirra Andreeva. Andreeva has congratulated Zheng on her success, which represents her first-ever WTA 1000 title. Both players have since decided to withdraw from the Wuhan Open after their runs at the China Open , where Zheng made history by becoming the first Chinese player to lift the trophy. Also making history in the region once upon a time was Caroline Garcia , who completed the double in 2017, and remains the only player to do so.
