Expectation a privilege for Wales tennis star Xu

Swansea-born teenager Mimi Xu had a breakthrough 2024 season, becoming the first Welsh player to enter the main singles draw at Wimbledon in almost 20 years, where she made her Grand Slam debut against Emma Raducanu. She also won her biggest career title at the Lexus Wrexham Open and claimed notable victories at the Birmingham, Ilkley, and Nottingham Opens. Xu is now aiming to build on that success with another Wimbledon appearance in the upcoming grasscourt season.
