Chinese tennis star Wang Xinyu is serving up a storm at the WTA Berlin Open! 🌪️ The 23-year-old qualifier blasted into her first-ever grass-court semifinal on Friday after Spain's Paula Badosa retired mid-match due to injury. Talk about a glow-up from their Australian Open clash earlier this year! 🎯
Wang’s Cinderella story started in the qualifiers, where she knocked out two-time Wimbledon finalist Ons Jabeur 👑. She then stunned World No. 16 Daria Kasatkina and delivered the ultimate flex: a straight-sets takedown of French Open champ Coco Gauff 🤯. This marks her first career win against a Top 2 player—*chef’s kiss* perfection!
"Grass-court transition? No problem," Wang said post-match. "Qualifying gave me extra reps and confidence. Now I’m vibing with the surface like it’s my favorite playlist 🎧."
Next up: A semifinal showdown with Russia’s Liudmila Samsonova. Will Wang’s grass-court magic continue? Stay tuned! ⚡
