Caroline Garcia defeated Simona Halep in the final, 6–4, 7–6^(7–3) to win the women's singles tennis title at the 2017 China Open. As of 2023, Garcia is the only player to win singles titles in both Wuhan and Beijing in the same year.

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

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 by defeating Jeļena Ostapenko in the semifinals.
