Wang showed great enthusiasm for tennis from early childhood and, coached by her father, she started playing properly at the age of five.

[9] Wang booked her ticket to her major debut at the 2018 Australian Open on 3 December 2017 in Zhuhai by winning the Asia-Pacific Wildcard Playoffs, coming back to edge out the Papua New Guinean No.

[10] "It's probably the most important day in my life so far," Wang said in the post-match news conference to CCTV Sports Channel, the official TV broadcaster of the Australian Open in China.

[12][7][11] At the 2018 Australian Open, as the second youngest competitor in the main draw (just older than 15-year-old Marta Kostyuk), Wang lost her debut match at a major to Alizé Cornet, in straight sets.

[13] But going through to the girls' doubles final with her partner Liang En-shuo from Taiwan, Wang claimed the title in a close match against Violet Apisah of Papua New Guinea (Abigail Tere-Apisah's niece) and Lulu Sun, a New Zealand-born Swiss player of Chinese descent.

Wang won her first Grand Slam match of her career which was against Ann Li and was defeated in the second round at the Australian Open by world No.

In the quarterfinals, they beat Veronika Kudermetova and Liudmila Samsonova, and in the semifinals sixth seeds Nicole Melichar-Martinez and Ellen Perez to advance to their first final as a pair.

[citation needed] Also on her debut, she reached the semifinals for the first time at the next WTA 1000, the Italian Open, again with Zheng, upsetting top-seeded pair Hsieh/Mertens to face third seeds Gauff and Routliffe for a spot in the final.

[33] Partnering Zheng Saisai, Wang reached the doubles final at the Singapore Open, losing to second seeds Desirae Krawczyk and Giuliana Olmos.
