Wang pursues his dream at home!
Tennis has that rare virtue of sometimes telling us incredible and unexpected stories.
And that's exactly what's happening at the Wuhan WTA 1000.
Xinyu Wang, ranked 51st in the world at the age of 23, is making her fans dream.
Irresistible, she first took advantage of a rather favorable draw before knocking out world number 3 Jessica Pegula in the last 16 (6-3, 7-5).
Facing Ekaterina Alexandrova on Friday, the challenge was to confirm her performance of the previous round.
In a match fraught with tension, the young Chinese player went through all kinds of emotions.
Dominated at the start of the match, she even saved two match points and saw her opponent serve for the match in the final set.
With her unrivalled fighting spirit, she never panicked and reached the semi-finals (4-6, 7-5, 7-6).
For a place in the final, she will face the winner of the duel between Jasmine Paolini and Qinwen Zheng.
