Wang Yafan Career

She was born in Nanjing in 1994. Wang Yafan started playing tennis when she was 9-year-old. Wang made her WTA Tour debut at the 2014 Shenzhen Open, partnering Zheng Jie in doubles. The pair won their first-round match against wildcards Sun Ziyue and Xu Shilin, and defeated third seeds Irina Buryachok and Oksana Kalashnikova, before losing to eventual champions Monica Niculescu and Klára Zakopalová in the semifinals.

In September 2014 at the Guangzhou Open, Wang was given a wildcard into the singles main draw, and she advanced to the semifinals, upsetting the top seed and world No. 20, Samantha Stosur, in the first round, and qualifiers Petra Martić and Zhang Kailin along the way. She was knocked out by eventual champion Monica Niculescu.

Playing for the China Fed Cup team, Wang has a win–loss record of 9–2.

Wang made her career breakthrough at the 2018 Miami Open, where she reached the fourth round as a qualifier before losing against tenth seed Angelique Kerber, in a very tight match.

Wang won her first ever WTA singles title at the Mexican Open in Acapulco where she defeated Sofia Kenin by 2–6, 6–3, 7–5, after being down a set and a break. She achieved her best world ranking of No. 49.

At the Miami Open, she defeated Kristina Mladenovic in the first round. In the second round, she clinched her first victory against a top-ten player by defeating sixth seed and world No. 5, Elina Svitolina, in straight sets (6–2, 6–4). She kept on and won against 25th seed and Australian Open semifinalist Danielle Collins by 7–5, 6–1, and reached the fourth round, but then lost to compatriot Wang Qiang, in straight sets.

Coco Gauff rolled past Slovenian Tamara Zidansek 6-3 6-4 in the second round of Roland Garros on Wednesday, harnessing her mighty forehand in front of a crowd squarely on her side. The U.S. Open winner sent over nearly two dozen winners and overcame issues with her serve, including six double faults, to set up a meeting with the winner of a match between China's Wang Yafan and Ukrainian Dayana Yastremska. 'I'm very happy with how I played. Conditions (were) very slow and muggy but I got through it,' said Gauff.

Emma Raducanu's loss of the Australian Open is difficult to take as the British star is befuddled by her body during a ferocious match against Wang Yafan

KIERAN GILL: Emma Raducanu quit the Australian Open on Thursday, despite being robbed by her body in the deciding set of an exhausting match in Melbourne, zapped of her energy by a sudden bout of sickness. Raducanu's gave her all as she attempted to continue in her first Grand Slam appearance since last year, but even Achilles was only as good as his heel. The stomach bug delayed the 21-year-old's victory over China's Yafan Wang, who dominated 6-4, 4-6, 6-4, 6-4 after two hours and 55 minutes of ferocious tennis. Raducanu, no stranger to injuries or illness in her career, reacted with adversity, and many people will view this as a missed opportunity to advance to the third round of a Grand Slam for the first time since winning the 2021 US Open.

Emma Raducanu, a British tennis player, denies nerves were involved in her demise from Australian Open and attributes to a'stomach bug' after she was seen retching, struggling to breathe, and clutching her chest during a second round match

Emma Raducanu, a British tennis player, has denied that nerves were behind her loss of the Australian Open after she was seen retching, struggling to breathe, and clutching her chest during her second round defeat to Wang Yafan. The 21-year-old former US Open champion, who was playing only her fourth match since returning from eight months out and three surgeries, said a stomach bug plagued her at Melbourne Park. Raducanu had to recover from a set and a break down to force a deciding set. However, she was then overcome with respiratory difficulties, clutching at her chest, and abdomen until calling the trainer after two games.
