Match tiebreak that won her first grass title, Bad Homburg 2025
Guo Hanyu was born in Zhengzhou, Henan, in 1998. She made her WTA main-draw debut in doubles at Tianjin in 2017 and won her first WTA title at Guangzhou in 2023 with Jiang Xinyu. In 2024 she made her Grand Slam debut at the Australian Open and won the WTA 500 title at Monterrey with Monica Niculescu.
In 2025, partnering Alexandra Panova, she won at Adelaide and on grass at Bad Homburg, reached the Cincinnati final and entered the doubles top 20. For 2026 Kristina Mladenovic asked her to form a team; they won their first event together in Auckland and in July, as tenth seeds, won Wimbledon. Guo rose to No. 9 in the doubles rankings and the pair qualified for the WTA Finals. In singles she reached a career-high No. 156 in February 2026.
