Career

From 2012 onwards, Chen was deployed internationally, initially mainly in the youth sector. Among other things, she was three times in a row Asian youth champion in singles and 2014 youth world champion in doubles and mixed between 2013 and 2015. She also won both competitions a total of six times with the Chinese team. From October 2013 it was listed in the top 100 of the world rankings , and from 2017 it increasingly appeared in the adult category. That year she was Asian mixed champion and won her first World Tour tournament - both singles and doubles - with the Hungarian Open, after beating Chen Meng , among others . At the Swedish Open in November, she won against world champion Ding Ning and against world number one and second Zhu Yuling and Chen Meng, winning another title and moving up to the top 10 in the world rankings in December. In doubles with Sun Yingsha , she also won the Japan and Austrian Open . In individual, she qualified for the Grand Finals , where she reached the semi-finals and was eliminated there against Zhu Yuling.

In 2018 she was part of the Chinese team that won gold at the World Team Cup and the Asian Games; in singles, however, she did not win any titles, while in doubles with Sun Yingsha she won the Hungarian , Hong Kong and Swedish Open and thus qualified for the Grand Finals . There they won silver, in the singles Chen Xingtong was eliminated in the first round against the eventual winner Chen Meng. The following year, she fell back to number 21 in the world rankings, but also won the Bulgaria and Czech Open , where she was able to beat Mima Itō and Miu Hirano , respectively . At the Grand Finals , she reached the quarterfinals.
