Xu however, is not about to fret her return to tennis’ biggest stage.<\/p>\n
“Pressure is a privilege,” said Xu.<\/p>\n
“I think it’s just going to carry me through each match. Each tough moment I face it will get me through because the support I’ve received is absolutely amazing.”<\/p>\n
Xu, named Tennis Wales’ player of the year in February, will be carrying the weight of a nation. In 2025, she became her country’s first representative in a Wimbledon main draw for 20 years, and is relishing the chance to fly the flag again.<\/p>\n
“It’s an honour for me and I’ve got so many people backing me, especially in Swansea,” she added.<\/p>\n
“All of my friends, family, past coaches, everyone has been sending their support which I’m extremely grateful for. If I didn’t have any of them in my journey I wouldn’t be here today.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Xu however, is not about to fret her return to tennis’ biggest stage. “Pressure is a privilege,” said…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":662862,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[101,118,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-662861","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-sports","tag-tennis","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/662861","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=662861"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/662861\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/662862"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=662861"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=662861"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=662861"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
