身為2010年沈陽女子9球世界冠軍的付小芳在9球中國公開賽上也有所斬獲，2011年，她曾在這里登上最高領獎台。時隔四年，她又一次展示出應有的實力。第一階段小組賽，她連克越南的段式玉黎以及中華台北選手陳禾耘，從勝部晉級。比賽進入第二階段單敗淘汰賽，她繼續表現沉穩，9:0橫掃印尼的Angeline Ticoalu之後，在接下來的兩場將劉昱晨以及前世界第1 陳思明接連拿下，第二次闖入決賽。
來自韓國的金佳映曾躋身去年中國賽決賽，最終輸給韓雨而屈居亞軍。時隔一年她卷土重來，第一階段她同樣從勝部出線。第二階段單敗淘汰賽，金佳映先後淘汰奧地利名將 Jasmin Ouschan、中華台北選手陳禾耘。半決賽，面對去年決賽對手韓雨，金佳映成功以9:3打贏了一個漂亮的複仇之戰，連續兩年來到中國賽決賽場。
決賽中，前6局比賽，雙方各自完成三次大摸。第7局比賽，金佳映在擊打6號球時失誤，付小芳完成清台，率先破掉對手的衝球局，4:3領先。此後付小芳兩次失誤將主動權讓出，第12局，付小芳在自己的衝球局中沒能打下1號球，金佳映抓住機會獲得兩局領先優勢，7:5領先。第13局，金佳映完成傳9，8:5拿到賽點。雖然付小芳扳回一城，但無奈分差太大，金佳映完成清台，9:6戰勝付小芳。
