Talk about a birthday bash! 🎉 Chinese tennis star Yuan Yue celebrated turning 27 in style by defeating Kazakhstan’s Yulia Putintseva 6-3, 6-3 at the China Open in Beijing. The victory snapped her four-match singles losing streak—and gave fans a reason to cheer louder than a Grand Slam final!
🔥 Yuan showed nerves of steel early, saving two break points in the second game. She then broke Putintseva twice in the first set, sealing it with a dominant 6-3.
