2014: WTA Tour debut

[edit]

Wang made her WTA Tour debut at the 2014 Shenzhen Open, partnering Zheng Jie in doubles.[2] The pair won their first-round match against wildcards Sun Ziyue and Xu Shilin,[2] and defeated third seeds Irina Buryachok and Oksana Kalashnikova, then lost to eventual champions Monica Niculescu and Klára Zakopalová in the semifinals.[2]

In September 2014 at the Guangzhou International Open, Wang was given a wildcard into the singles main draw, and she advanced to the semifinals, upsetting Samantha Stosur in the first round,[3] and qualifiers Petra Martić and Zhang Kailin along the way. She was knocked out by eventual champion Monica Niculescu.[4]

2018: Breakthrough, Miami Open fourth round

[edit]

Wang made her career breakthrough at the 2018 Miami Open, where she reached the fourth round as a qualifier, then lost to Angelique Kerber.

2019: Maiden career title, top 50 debut

[edit]

Wang won her first ever WTA Tour singles title at the Mexican Open in Acapulco where she defeated Sofia Kenin in three sets, after being down a set and a break.[5] As a result, she achieved her best ranking of world No. 49 on 4 March 2019.

At the Miami Open, she defeated Kristina Mladenovic in the first round. In the second, she clinched her first victory against a top-10 player by defeating Elina Svitolina in straight sets. She then won against Danielle Collins in straight sets and reached the fourth round,[6] but then lost to compatriot Wang Qiang, in straight sets.

2023: Back to top 100

[edit]

As a qualifier, Wang won the title at the Golden Gate Open, defeating second seed Kamilla Rakhimova in the final.[7]

Ranked No. 114 at the US Open, after four years of absence, she qualified for the main draw and upset Caroline Garcia, her second career top 10 win.[8] As a result, she returned to the top 100 in the rankings on 11 September 2023.[9][10]

2024: Australian Open third and US Open fourth rounds

[edit]

At the Australian Open, she reached the third round of a Grand Slam tournament for the first time in her career, defeating 22nd seed Sorana Cîrstea[11] and Emma Raducanu,[12][13] before losing to 12th seed and eventual finalist Zheng Qinwen.[14] As a result, Wang returned to the top 80 on 29 January 2024.[15] At the Thailand Open, she reached her first WTA Tour semifinal since 2019 and seventh overall, defeating Katie Volynets in a third set tiebreak.[16][17]

At the US Open, she reached the fourth round of a major for the first time in her career, overcoming ninth seed Maria Sakkari by injury retirement for her first top 10 win for the season and second at this tournament,[18][19] before defeating Diane Parry.[20] She then upset 20th seed Viktoria Azarenka in the third round.[21] This was her fifth career top 20 win and also second in the same tournament for the first time.[22] Her run was ended by 26th seed Paula Badosa.[23]
