The following are the seeded players based on WTA rankings as of 23 September 2024. Rankings and points before are as of 7 October 2024.
Under the 2024 Rulebook, points from one of the three non-combined WTA 1000 tournaments (which include Wuhan) are required to be counted in a player's ranking.[2]
Because the tournament was not held in 2023, the points dropping column reflects (a) the points from the tournaments held during the week of 9 October 2023 (Zhengzhou, Seoul and Hong Kong), (b) the points from a non-combined WTA 1000 tournament or (c) the player's best 18th result. 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.
† The player is defending points from a non-combined WTA 1000 tournament.
‡ The player is defending points from her 18th best result.
§ The player is keeping her 18th best result as it is higher than the Wuhan result which does not need to count in her rankings.
