Asian champion S. Sivasangari has been promoted to top seed for the China Open in Shanghai after the withdrawals of two higher-ranked players. World No. 1 Amina Orfi and world No. 2 Hania El Hammamy of Egypt pulled out due to injuries, leaving world No. 4 Sivasangari to take her place. Sivasangari is projected to face world No. 7 Satomi Watanabe in the final, barring any upsets. She is expected to meet world No. 16 Farida Mohamed in the quarter-finals and world No. 9 Tinne Gilis in the semi-finals.
