The Wrexham double represented a “full circle moment” in Xu’s young career.<\/p>\n
“I remember winning my first tournament in Wrexham when I was in eight and under in Welsh Champions and to yesterday get my biggest title, it honestly means so much to me,” she said.<\/p>\n
Xu started last week with a WTA singles ranking of 309 which has now risen to a career-high of 269.<\/p>\n
“I haven’t looked too much at the rankings if I’m being completely honest, but I feel like I competed really well last week and played each match as it came. I’m just so happy with the result.”<\/p>\n
There will be no rest for Xu as she heads to compete at the W75 Glasgow this week.<\/p>\n
Now that she has turned 18 there are no restrictions on the amount of tournaments she can play.<\/p>\n
“I really enjoy playing the sport, I’m really lucky that this is now my job and it’s amazing I can do that,” Xu added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Wrexham double represented a “full circle moment” in Xu’s young career. “I remember winning my first tournament…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":254780,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[72],"tags":[99,428],"class_list":["post-254779","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-sports","tag-tennis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254779","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=254779"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254779\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/254780"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=254779"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=254779"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=254779"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
