He became the World No.1 in the ITF Juniors ranking[4] after winning the boys' singles title at the 2017 US Open.
Wu represented China at the 2017 Davis Cup, where he has a W/L record of 1–0. He defeated Jason Jung in his first Davis Cup match.
In December 2016, Wu reached the final of the 2016 Orange Bowl, a Grade A junior event, losing to Miomir Kecmanović in the final.
In 2017, Wu reached the semifinals in both boys' singles and doubles at the Australian Open, and won both the boys' singles and doubles champions (with Chinese Taipei's Hsu Yu-hsiou) at the US Open, thus became the first Chinese male to win a Grand Slam title.[5]
In October 2018, Wu recorded his first ATP win against Li Zhe at the Shanghai Masters. In the second round he won the first set against Kei Nishikori.[6]
In 2022, he won three Challenger titles in the United States, including back-to-back trophy runs in July in Rome, Georgia and Indianapolis. As a result he reached the top 200 at a career-high of No. 174 on 25 July 2022. [7] His four career total Challenger titles made him the most decorated Chinese player in the circuit’s history.[8]
At the US Open he qualified to make his Grand Slam debut.[9] He became the first male Chinese in the Open Era to qualify at the US Open, winning his last qualifying match before Zhang Zhizhen also won his last match later in the same day.[10][11][12][13] Wu won his first round match against 31st seed Nikoloz Basilashvili, becoming the first male Chinese player to win a US Open match in the Open Era and a Grand Slam match in 63 years.[14][15] He beat fellow qualifier Nuno Borges in five sets in the second round to become the first Chinese male player to reach the third round of any Grand Slam event since Kho Sin-Kie in 1946 Wimbledon. He also became the first Chinese man ever to reach the third round in the tournament history (since 1881).[16][17] As a result he moved 43 positions up to world No. 131 in the rankings on 12 September 2022. He then lost to World No. 1 Daniil Medvedev in the third round.
