The Shenzhen Open (also known as the Shenzhen Gemdale Open for sponsorship purposes) was a professional women's tennis tournament. It was played on outdoor hardcourts of the Shenzhen Longgang Tennis Center, which has 32 outdoor and indoor courts and a 4,000-seat stadium. The tournament made its debut on the WTA Tour in 2013 in Shenzhen, and took place during the first week of the year, as a warm-up event two weeks prior to the Australian Open.
Li Na is the singles title leader, tied with Simona Halep, with two titles, and the only player to successfully defend her title in 2014, defeating Peng Shuai in an All-Chinese final.
