Tennis career

[edit]

Juniors

[edit]

Wang started playing tennis at age seven and quickly emerged as one of Asia's most highly touted junior players. He made the final of the2001 Australian Open Boys' Singles (losing toJanko Tipsarević) and the final of theUS Open Boys' Singles (losing toGilles Müller).

As a junior, he compiled a 136–52 win–loss record in singles (and 78–57 in doubles), reaching as high as No. 3 in the world junior singles rankings in April 2001 (and No. 8 in doubles).

Junior Slam results – Singles:

Australian Open: F (2001)
French Open: 1R (2000,2001)
Wimbledon: SF (2001)
US Open: F (2001)

Pro tour

[edit]

Wang turned pro in 2003 and has improved his game and ranking year each he has been on the professional circuit. In 2005, Wang broke into the ATP Top 100 for the first time by virtue of three straightChallenger final appearances, winning a title atIstanbul, Turkey. The 21-year-old also reached the quarterfinal round of the ATP event inBangkok,Thailand, and lost toRafael Nadal in the 1st round inBeijing, China at the China Open. Wang made hisGrand Slam debut atWimbledon in 2004, losing toAndy Roddick in the first round. In 2006, he reached the second round, bowing out toJames Blake 3 sets to 1.

Wang's bestGrand Slam performance to date came atWimbledon in2014, where he defeatedAlejandro González andMikhail Youzhny to advance to the third round, ultimately losing toJo-Wilfried Tsonga.

He was a member of theChinese Taipei Davis Cup team, compiling a 17–6 record in Davis Cup action since 2001.

Near the end of his career, Wang took breaks from competing due to a persistent wrist injury. With several years of recovery, he decided to play in doubles while helping out the young players. He was content with the results during 2019 and briefly considered making a comeback for some time. However, Wang got tired of traveling around the world to train and compete, which made him start thinking about retirement from professional tennis. His decision was strengthened after getting married and the birth of his child, and Wang eventually started focusing on other things.[1] In September 2019, he played his last match at the2019 OEC Kaohsiung in doubles withHsu Yu-hsiou.
