In order to commemorate the first joint edition since 1996, a mixed doubles tournament was held by combining female players of the WTA China Open and the male players of the ATP Beijing Challenger. The tournament had a prize money of USD $6,000, but as this was an exhibition tournament, no points were given for the ATP and WTA rankings.
Matches were played at best of three sets with a Match tie-break replacing the final set, in which a pair must win a 10-point tiebreaker (or by a two-point margin) to win the match. Match tie-breaks were not fully implemented until the 2006 season in official tournaments.[1]
Tripp Phillips and Emmanuelle Gagliardi won the title by defeating Justin Gimelstob and Jill Craybas 6–1, 6–2 in the final.
