Peng Shuai Biography

Peng Shuai is one of the most popular and richest Tennis Player who was born on January 8, 1986 in Xiangtan, Hunan, China. The winning streak was not to be the last, as she was unable to win a single match over the following six tournaments including a loss in the first round to the Australian Open. Peng eventually won her first victory of the season in the Tier II Bangalore Open against Anne Kremer before losing in three sets to Venus Williams, she also took home the doubles title alongside Sun Tiantian. She then defeated the 23rd seed Karin Knapp to reach the third round of Indian Wells.

It wasn’t till April of 2003 when Peng first won an event, but she put on her best performance of her career, getting through qualifying to take home her maiden $25,000 prize at Jackson and also securing match wins against Rika Fujiwara and Tatiana Golovin as well as Christina Wheeler among others. After the disappointing summer performances her game began to improve more regularly towards the final stages of the year And in the month of December, she took home her first $50,000 tournament as well as five times the ITF victory of her career at Changsha winning over Yuka Yoshida Yan Zi and Zheng Jie. She also rescued her position at the top of her list that had only improved marginally overall, to 326 and signalling her eventual success in the next year.

By September 2005, Peng ranked among the top-5 female tennis players across the whole Asian continent. That month, she reached two further WTA quarterfinals, at Beijing and (for the second year running) Guangzhou, where she retired in her quarterfinal match against teenaged emerging star Victoria Azarenka after losing the first set by a break. This proved to be her last match of the year; and without being able to defend the points won at Shenzhen the previous November, she found her year-end ranking settling to 35.

In August, she topped all her previous achievements by reaching her first Tier I semifinal at San Diego, posting upsets over then world No. 6 Elena Dementieva, world No. 26 Dinara Safina and world No. 7 Kim Clijsters, all in straight sets. Her victory over Clijsters, who was on her way back to being world No. 1 after only a few months back on the tour following injury, ended the Belgian’s 26–consecutive-match-winning streak on hard courts. Following the match, Kim told reporters that Peng had the potential to become a top-3 tennis player. Although an inspired Mary Pierce had her way in the semifinal, Peng’s outstanding performance in this tournament helped her to her career- best singles ranking (31st) on August 15, 2005, which was also the highest ever singles ranking achieved by any Chinese women’s tennis player, improving on the standard set by Li Na, who peaked at 33 earlier the same year (though she may yet ascend to new heights).

The month of February, 2002 was when Peng took home her second $10,000 Singles crown within the span of nine months in Mumbai beating American Sunitha Rao to win the title in the end. In the following week, she boosted her winning streak to 12 matches after qualifying to make it to the final of the $25,000 event in New Delhi, with wins against Japanese Aiko Nakamura as well as Austrian Sybille Bammer, but losing in the final match against Eva Birnerova. On July 1, she achieved in being selected for the draw for a $50,000 event at Lexington However, a second win was not forthcoming, and following an unavoidable second round main draw loss in the beginning of August, she took almost seven months off of competing in singles events, and ended year ranked only 357 in the world.
