Chinese qualifier Guo Hanyu just scored her first-ever WTA Tour victory in style at the Canadian Open! 🎉 The 23-year-old stunned World No. 43 Yulia Putintseva 6-3, 6-3, ending the Kazakh player's six-match winning streak against opponents from the Chinese mainland. Talk about a glow-up moment! 💥
Known for her doubles dominance (five titles, no big deal 😎), Guo’s singles career has been more of a slow burn. She’s been grinding on the ITF circuit, but Monday’s win—after a ruthless 6-0, 6-0 qualifier against Romania’s Mihaela Buzarnescu—proved she’s ready for the big leagues. 🚀
Guo’s aggressive play and clutch defense flipped the script against Putintseva, rocketing her live rankings to No. 211. Next up? A showdown with World No. 1 Iga Swiatek. 🔥 Will this be tennis’s next Cinderella story? Stay tuned! 👀
