In her career, she has won one singles title and three doubles titles on the WTA Tour, as well as four doubles titles on WTA 125 tournaments, plus ten singles and six doubles titles on the ITF Women's Circuit. On 7 October 2019, she reached her best singles ranking of world No. 47. She peaked at No. 49 in the doubles rankings on 15 February 2016.

Career

She was born in Nanjing in 1994. Wang Yafan started playing tennis when she was 9-year-old.[1] 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, before losing to eventual champions Monica Niculescu and Klára Zakopalová in the semifinals.[2]

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,[3] and qualifiers Petra Martić and Zhang Kailin along the way. She was knocked out by eventual champion Monica Niculescu.[4]

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.

Notes

The first Premier 5 event of the year has switched back and forth between the Dubai Tennis Championships and the Qatar Total Open since 2009. Dubai was classified as a Premier 5 event from 2009–2011 before being succeeded by Doha for the 2012–2014 period. In 2015, Dubai regained its Premier 5 status while Doha was demoted to Premier status. The Premier 5 tournaments were reclassified as WTA 1000 tournaments in 2021.
In 2014, the Toray Pan Pacific Open was downgraded to a Premier event and replaced by the Wuhan Open. The Premier 5 tournaments were reclassified as WTA 1000 tournaments in 2021.
WTA Tournament of Champions was held from 2009 to 2014, when WTA Elite Trophy replaced it.
The WTA International tournaments were reclassified as WTA 250 tournaments in 2021.
The $50,000 ITF tournaments were reclassified as $60,000 in 2017.
The $75,000 ITF tournaments were reclassified as $75,000 in 2017.
