Agnieszka Radwańska was the defending champion, but lost in the third round to Daria Kasatkina.

Caroline Garcia won the title, defeating Simona Halep in the final, 6–4, 7–6^(7–3). As of 2019, Garcia is the only player to win singles titles in both Wuhan and Beijing in the same year.

As a result of Garbiñe Muguruza's retirement in the first round, Halep attained the WTA no. 1 singles ranking for the first time at the end of the tournament after having defeated Jeļena Ostapenko in the semifinals.
