Zhu Lin ( Chinese 朱 琳 ; born January 28, 1994 ) is a Chinese tennis player .
Career
Zhu started playing tennis at the age of five and plays mostly in China on the ITF Women's World Tennis Tour , where she has won ten singles and five doubles titles so far, her first in 2010 in Thailand.
In 2013 she was allowed to start with a wildcard for the first time at a tournament of the WTA Challenger Series in Suzhou , but failed there in the first round to Tímea Babos . In 2014, Zhu won more than 50 matches on the ITF tour and made it into the top 200 of the world rankings . At the US Open , she took part in the qualification of a Grand Slam tournament for the first time and only lost in the final round. She then received several wild cards for Chinese WTA tournaments, including the Premier Mandatory tournament in Beijing , where she moved into the second round after Anastassija Pavlyuchenkova had given up and was defeated by Simona Halep . Before that, she achieved her first main draw win on the WTA Tour , coming from qualifying in Hong Kong against Kristýna Plíšková .
In 2015, Zhu began playing smaller WTA tournaments outside of China, but only survived the first round in Pattaya City . In Wimbledon , she qualified for the first time for the main draw of a Grand Slam tournament through her ranking, but lost there as well as in the qualifying rounds for the other three Grand Slam tournaments at the beginning. In 2016 she reached her first WTA semi-final as a qualifier in Lumpur , in which she had to admit defeat to the eventual winner Elina Switolina . In April 2017 she triumphed at the side of her compatriot Han Xinyun at the WTA Challenger tournament in Zhengzhou . Despite three more quarter-finals in Taipei , Nanchang and Tianjin , where she recorded her first win against a top 20 player against Petra Kvitová , she missed both 2017 and the following year 2018, in which she won two ITF titles in the $ 60,000 category won, just made the decisive jump into the top 100 of the world rankings.
Zhu only achieved this with a final spurt at the end of the 2019 season, when she first advanced into the second round in New York in her seventh participation in the main draw of a Grand Slam tournament after a success over Wang Xinyu . She then reached the final at the highly endowed ITF tournament in Suzhou , won her first title in a tournament in the $ 100,000 category in Liuzhou and the week after in Shenzhen . Zhu achieved her highest world ranking to date with position 69 at the beginning of 2020, after she won a match in the main draw for the first time in Melbourne after beating Viktorija Golubic .
In 2017, Zhu was called up for the first time in the Chinese Fed Cup team . Since then she has played seven individual matches for her country, of which she has won four.
