The Shenzhen Open, one of the events kicking off the calendar, is also one of five WTA tournaments in China in 2014. It is staged at the Longgang Tennis Centre, which features 32 courts, and a 4,000-seat Centre Court that uses Hawk-Eye. Chinese superstar and former French Open champion Li Na did her home country proud by capturing the inaugural edition in 2013. Taiwanese sisters Chan Hao-Ching and Chan Yung-Jan were victorious in doubles. A major city in the south of Southern China's Guangdong Province just north of Hong Kong, Shenzhen's modern cityscape is a result of a vibrant economy fueled by foreign investment. It is deemed southern mainland China's financial hub and hosts the Shenzhen Stock Exchange.
