The 2019 Jiangxi Open was a shining star, welcoming multiple Grand Slam singles and doubles champions, making it the strongest player lineup of Jiangwang since its establishment in 2014. Among the star players, Russian red fan Kuznetsova, who has won two Grand Slam singles championships in her career, has a comprehensive and violent style of play, and is one of the few players in the women's tennis world who can slide on the hard ground. US Open champion Stoser has a high reputation in China. Zhang Shuai, who is 30 years old this year, will form a doubles team with Peng Shuai, who has won two Grand Slam doubles championships and ranked first in the world doubles, to compete at Jiangwang as part of the national women's tennis team's preparations for the Tokyo Olympics. Viewers will be able to experience the strength of the national team up close at the Jiangwang Stadium.

In addition, Canadian American girl fighter Bouchard and Christina Priskova, one of the Czech twin sisters, will also bring a whirlwind of beauty to Jiangwang.

This year marks the 70th anniversary of the People's Republic of China. As early as 86 years ago, in 1933, the Central Soviet Area held the "May 30th" Red Games in Yeping Village, Ruijin, Jiangxi, and tennis was included as an official event. This is the first tennis match of the Republic and also witnesses the inseparable bond between tennis and Jiangxi. Combining the theme education of "never forget your original intention, always remember your mission", the organizing committee has launched a series of activities called "Red River Network, Green Inheritance of Ganpo". Through the Jiangxi Open tennis platform, collect relevant historical materials and information on the origin of tennis in the Republic from around the world, especially the search for red stories of tennis rackets left over by revolutionary predecessors.

In addition, the organizing committee will move numerous historical materials, relics, literature, pictures, etc. from the Red Sports Museum to the event site during the competition, restoring the original appearance of the May 30th Games tennis court. Let the audience not only enjoy high-level international tennis matches, but also receive red sports education.

It is worth mentioning that this year's tennis open, through cooperation with DeDao Sports Technology, combines internet technology with international sports events, and is the first to launch Finger Post, a game assistant intelligent software, in global tennis events. Improve the efficiency of organizing competitions through intelligent applications, making event services more efficient and convenient.

At the same time, the event assistant also has multiple functions such as bilingual translation between Chinese and English, and local map navigation for the event.
