Zheng returns to Tokyo fresh off her stellar run through the China swing, which included her first WTA 1000 semifinal at the China Open and first WTA 1000 final at the Dongfeng Voyah Wuhan Open. With that surge, the 22-year-old surged up the PIF Race to the WTA Finals Leaderboard to secure the final qualifying spot for the season-ending championships, a fitting end to a season which saw the Chinese star win Olympic gold and make her first Grand Slam final at the Australian Open.
Zheng made the Tokyo final in her tournament debut in 2022. She returns this year as the No.1 seed with a bye into the second round, where she will face either Moyuka Uchijima
Guadalajara champion Magdalena Frech
Daria Kasatkina
No.2 seed Haddad Maia tops the final quarter of the draw. She will face either Bianca Andreescu
