Zheng Qinwen won the China Open on 11 October by defeating Mirra Andreeva 7–5, 6–4, the WTA reported. The victory secured the Beijing title after a straight-sets final against Andreeva.
The WTA then reported on 12 October that both finalists would miss the Wuhan Open. Zheng cited a right-shoulder injury, while Andreeva’s withdrawal was attributed to a change in her schedule.
The reasons should not be conflated: the announcement did not say that both players were injured. The final result and the subsequent withdrawals are related developments on different dates, with the withdrawals concerning the next event rather than altering the completed Beijing outcome.
