Coco Gauff defeated Jessica Pegula in the final, 6–4, 7–5 to win the singles tennis title at the 2025 Wuhan Open. She did not lose a set en route to her third WTA 1000 and eleventh WTA Tour singles title. Gauff became the first player in history to go undefeated in their first nine hardcourt finals.
Aryna Sabalenka was the three-time defending champion, but lost in the semifinals to Pegula. The loss ended Sabalenka's unbeaten 20-match win streak at the tournament, dating back to her debut in 2018. By reaching the semifinals, Sabalenka claimed the year-end world No. 1 ranking for the second year in a row.
At the conclusion of the tournament, Ekaterina Alexandrova made her debut in the top 10 of the WTA rankings, becoming the third-oldest woman to do so.
Seeds The top eight seeds received a bye into the second round.
