The China Open has been won by 15 different players since its inaugural event in 1993, but only three players have won the tournament multiple times.
Novak Djokovic has dominated the China Open throughout the years, winning six tournaments between 2009 and 2015.
Rafael Nadal has also claimed multiple titles in Beijing, collecting the trophy on two occasions in 2005 and 2017.
The only other star to win the tournament did so in the competition’s first three events despite never reaching World No. 1.
Michael Chang won the China Open three times between 1993 and 1995
Michael Chang will forever be known as the youngest-ever Roland Garros champion after winning the Grand Slam at the age of 17 years, 110 days.
The American won 34 titles between 1988 and 2003 and he reached as high as World No. 2 in the ATP Tour rankings in 1996.
The star was the marquee player at the first three China Opens and lived up to his number one seeding by lifting the trophy on every occasion.
The tournament was only an ATP 250 at the time, not a 500 like it is now, so many of the top players skipped the competition.
The American is only the second player to ever lift the China Open three years in a row, with Djokovic doing the same between 2012 and 2014.
Chang defeated Greg Rusedski, Anders Järryd, and Renzo Furlan in the final of his three wins, but his dominance was ended by Martin Damm in 1996.
Damm reached the final of the China Open, but he was beaten by British star Greg Rusedski in straight sets.
Every winner of the China Open
Chang leads a diverse group of winners for the China Open with some interesting one-time-only winners in Beijing.
Rusedski won one of his 15 titles at the tournament in 1996, while the likes of Jim Courier, Marat Safin, and Marcos Baghdatis also lifted the trophy.
The China Open is one of the few tournaments on the ATP Tour that Roger Federer did not win, as the Swiss star skipping the Asian leg tournament.
The last two years have been shared by Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, with Sinner still in the hunt to win the 2025 trophy.
