China Open 2024: Men's draw, schedule, players, prize money breakdown and more

The 23rd edition of the men's tournament at the China Open will commence on September 26. Jannik Sinner won the ATP 500 event last year after beating Daniil Medvedev in the final.

The Italian has been in sensational form lately, winning the Cincinnati Open and the US Open, and he will be a heavy favorite to win. However, the likes of Carlos Alcaraz, Daniil Medvedev, Andrey Rublev and Grigor Dimitrov all are capable of doing well in Beijing.

On that note, let us take a look at the details of China Open 2024.

What is the China Open?

Jannik Sinner is the top seed at the ATP 500 event and will face Nicolas Jarry in the first round, with the winner taking on either Stan Wawrinka or Jan-Lennard Struff in the Round of 16.

Second seed Carlos Alcaraz is coming off at the back of his Laver Cup heroics and will look to have a good run in Beijing after his disappointments in Cincinnati and the US Open. The Spaniard will face Giovanni Mpetschi Perricard in the first round and the winner will take on either Miomir Kecmanovic or Tallon Griekspoor in the second round.

Daniil Medvedev will be involved in one of the most enthralling first-round fixtures, as he takes on Gael Monfils. The winner of this match will take on Lorenzo Sonego or Adrian Mannarino in the Round of 16.

Andrey Rublev, Grigor Dimitrov and Lorenzo Musetti are seeded fourth, fifth and sixth respectively, and all three are capable of doing well in Beijing. Other players competing in the ATP 500 event include Karen Khachanov, Alexander Bublik and Alejandro Davidovich Fokina.
