The Tournament:
The Jiangxi International Women's Tennis Open is a tournament for professional female tennis players played on outdoor hard courts. The event is held at the Nanchang Tennis Center in Nanchang, Jiangxi province, China. It is also part of the China Open Series. The best performance of Chinese players in women's singles will receive a wild card from the China Open.
For the first two years, this was a WTA 125K series level tournament. However, beginning in 2016, it became one of the main WTA Tour level tournaments under the International classification.
About Nanchang:
Nanchang is the capital and largest city of Jiangxi Province in southeastern China. As of November 2017, the total population in Nanchang City was 5,246,600, while the urban population is 2,887,800. Located in the north-central part of the province and in the hinterland of Poyang Lake Plain, it is bounded on the west by the Jiuling Mountains, and on the east by Poyang Lake. Because of its strategic location connecting the prosperous East and South China, it has become a major railway hub in Southern China in recent decades.
As the Nanchang Uprising in 1927 is distinctively recognized by the ruling Communist Party as "firing the first gunshot against the evil Nationalists", the current government has therefore named the city since 1949 "the City of Heroes", "the place where the People's Liberation Army was born", and the most widely known "place where the military banner of the People's Liberation Army was first raised".
