Mimi Xu: Expectation a privilege for Wales' teenage tennis star

Welsh teenager Mimi Xu had a breakthrough 2025 season, becoming the first Welsh player to enter the main singles draw at Wimbledon in almost 20 years, where she faced Emma Raducanu on her Grand Slam debut. The Swansea-born player also won her biggest career title at the Lexus Wrexham Open and recorded notable victories at the Birmingham, Ilkley, and Nottingham Opens. Now in 2026, Xu is aiming to build on that success with another Wimbledon appearance during the grasscourt season.
