The China Open (formerly the Beijing Salem Open) is an annual professional tennis tournament held in Beijing, China. The men's singles and doubles events were first held in 1993, the same year in which the Qatar Open and Dubai Tennis Championships were also introduced to the men's tour, as the ATP opened a series of new tournaments in Asia. In 1998, the tournament was dropped from the ATP tour calendar, but was reinstated in 2004, the same year when the WTA Tour women's singles and doubles events, previously held in Shanghai, were moved to Beijing. In 2006, the China Open became the first tournament outside of the United States to utilize the Hawk-Eye system in match play. Michael Chang is the only man to have won the singles competition more than once, holding the record for both total and consecutive wins with three titles.
