Two-time defending champion Aryna Sabalenka^[1] defeated Zheng Qinwen in the final, 6–3, 5–7, 6–3 to win the singles tennis title at the 2024 Wuhan Open.^[2] Sabalenka became the first player to win three consecutive titles at the Wuhan Open, and extended her unbeaten win streak at the tournament to 17 matches dating back to her tournament debut in 2018.^[3] The final was a rematch of the 2024 Australian Open final, which Sabalenka also won. One week later, on 21 October 2024, Sabalenka reclaimed the WTA No. 1 singles ranking from Iga Świątek, who withdrew from the Asian Swing tournaments.

Zheng became the first Chinese finalist in the tournament's history, and the semifinal between Zheng and Wang Xinyu was the first all-Chinese semifinal at a WTA 1000 event.^[4]

The points won column reflects (a) the points of the 2024 tournament, (b) the player's 18th best result or (c) the player's 19th best result.
