Singing all the way, in 2025, in the singles and doubles arena, Wang Meiling has made breakthroughs

It's no secret that the top 100 players in the WTA rankings will undoubtedly have a much better chance of playing on tour and Grand Slam than outside the top 100, and because of this, they also get more attention. As a result, the vast majority of fans focused on the first-line golden flowers represented by Zheng Qinwen, and many Chinese girls with lower rankings were ignored. However, in this case, many low-ranked Chinese women's tennis players still have not given up, which is admirable in itself. They often make breakthroughs in some events, and this breakthrough is more worthy of encouragement. Because these Chinese girls often represent the future of Chinese women's tennis. This week, there is such a player, who is fighting on two fronts, all the way up, and has set the best record in the 2025 season. So, who is this player? Today, let the humble article take you to see it.

This player is Wang Meiling, like Wang Xinyu and Zheng Qinwen, she is also a post-00s player. Back in 2017, she won her first career tour victory in Dalian. Every year since, Wang Meiling will make progress. In the 2023 season, she won the first singles title of her career. In the doubles arena, Wang Meiling won the championship earlier. It was early April 2022 when she teamed up with compatriot Yao Xinxin to win her first career doubles title in Tunisia.

Despite winning both singles and doubles titles, Wang Meiling failed to break the 320th place in the world rankings in both singles and doubles, leaving her with no choice but to compete in the Hope and Challenger tournaments. In the 2025 season, Wang Meiling has never won two consecutive singles main draws; In doubles, she never reached the final.

This week, Wang Meiling arrived in the Challenger in Japan as the No. 7 seed. In the first round, she defeated Japanese wild card C Miyahara and successfully advanced. In the second round, he swept the Japanese qualifier Kazuo Hanatani in two sets, allowing the opponent to win only five games; In the quarter-finals, he defeated Japan's Hiroshi Imamura in straight sets, and for the first time in the 2025 season, he won three straight matches and reached the semifinals for the first time.

In the doubles court, Wang Meiling partnered with compatriot Ma Yexin. In the first round, they were able to advance through a three-set battle against the combination of Feng Shuo and Xiao Zhenghua. In the second round, in the unfavorable situation of dropping one set first, Wang Meiling and Ma Yexin won two sets in a row and defeated the combination of Japan's Shimizu Yingri and Yoshioka Nosa to reach the semifinals. In the semi-finals, Wang Meiling and Ma Yexin defeated the combination of Shina Ayukawa and Mana Kawamura in straight sets to reach the first women's doubles final of the 2025 season.

Whether it is in the singles semifinals or doubles finals, Wang Meiling's opponents are quite strong. Regardless of the final result, Wang Meiling has already made a breakthrough in the 2025 season, which in itself is commendable. That's it for today, and it will continue tomorrow.(Source: Tennis Home Author: Yixin Jushi)
