As we all know, every tennis player experiences highs and lows on the tennis court. Generally speaking, though, it's often hard to get into the trough after the high. Even if you get into a trough, it won't take too long. However, there is such a player, after becoming the first Chinese girl to win two consecutive tournaments on tour in the 2025 season, and since then, whether it is on tour or Grand Slam tournaments, it is difficult to find a victory. In such a state, her world ranking has fallen to the edge of the TOP100 unconsciously. So, who exactly is this player? How will she fare in the 2025 season? Today, let the humble article take you to see it.

This player is the Chinese girl Yuan Yue. Last season, she made a series of breakthroughs to win her first career tour singles title; reached the quarterfinals of his first WTA1000 tournament in his career; reached the quarterfinals of his first career clay tour; Won his first career Tour doubles title. This year, Yuan Yue's highest ranking in the world even came to No. 36. All of a sudden, all kinds of praises came to her face, and this once unknown girl instantly became the focus of many media reports.

Because of this, after entering the 2025 season, Yuan Yue has high hopes from many fans. Indeed, at the WTA 500 Brisbane Open, when other Chinese players rushed out in the first round, only Yuan Yue swept away the ninth seed of the tournament, Ukraine's Kostyuk, after defeating the Dutch's Ruth. Despite losing to her opponent in the subsequent matches, Yuan Yue still became the first Chinese girl to win two consecutive tournaments on tour in the 2025 season.

However, what many fans didn't expect was that this dazzling performance was like a meteor, flashing and never continuing. In early January, in the first round of the WTA 250 Hobart Open, facing Colombia's first sister Osorio, Yuan Yue was swept out by her opponent. And all this has become a watershed moment in her career in the 2025 season.

In mid-January, after coming to the Australian Open, facing the seeded player, Russian Pavlyuchenkova, although she struggled to drag her opponent into the deciding set after dropping a set first, Yuan Yue still lost to her opponent because of the difference in strength, and this is Yuan Yue's third consecutive defeat in the 2025 season. After the loss, Yuan Yue chose to rest and adjust. Although it was a break, she did not relax her requirements for herself, Yuan Yue would still come to the tennis court for a certain amount of training, eager to be able to recreate her glory.

At the beginning of February, in the first round of the WTA 500 Abu Dhabi Open, facing the new Australian Open junior champion and Japanese player Hachika Sonobe, Yuan Yue, who was ranked nearly 800 places higher than his opponent, was unexpectedly swept out by his opponent, and this defeat directly affected Yuan Yue's self-confidence. After that, in Doha, WTA1000, facing France's Garcia, Yuan Yue suffered his fourth defeat in the 2025 season. In this way, in just over a month, from two consecutive wins to four consecutive defeats, Yuan Yue's ranking has been declining little by little.

Although in the first round of the qualifying tournament in Dubai, WTA1000 in mid-February, he defeated Spain's Buxa, and his form rebounded, but in the subsequent qualifying round, in the decisive round of the qualifying round, facing Romania's Begu, despite his best efforts, Yuan Yue still lost. Objectively speaking, this defeat has dealt a big blow to Yuan Yue's newly recovered self-confidence.

At the end of February, at the WTA 250 Austin Open, facing the little-known Australian sister Birrell, after some entanglement, the defending champion Yuan Yue was defeated by her opponent in straight sets. The defeat dropped her to No. 68 in the world rankings, but the end of the season was far from over. Just yesterday, in the first round of the WTA1000 Indian Wells station, facing the Ukrainian player Yastmreska, who had reached the semifinals of the Grand Slam, Yuan Yue lost to her opponent again and was out early in the first round again.

Yuan Yue's world ranking will drop to No. 93 next week. With her current world ranking, she is no longer able to enter the main draw of the French Open. Of course, Yuan Yue still has a chance to improve her ranking, but whether she can do it is still a mystery. A lot of times, the world of tennis is really just a teahouse. In this teahouse, there are many, many tea customers who have been here for a long time, and some of them have become quite famous. However, there are always fledgling tea drinkers who come here and look forward to tasting the sweet tea with their own efforts. And the author is just a small scholar in the corner of this teahouse who tells the stories of these tea customers in obscurity. I hope my article can bring some fresh information to all fans. Whether it's compliments or criticisms, maybe it's just to be able to get me far. That's it for today, and it continues tomorrow.(Source: Tennis Home Author: Yixin Jushi)
