Along with Sun Yu, He Bingjiao is the other big prospect in women’s singles coming from the Chinese stable and the 19-year-old established herself as one of the elite players this season. She had a terrific career even in juniors where she clinched the 2014 Youth Olympics gold medal and the silver medal at the World Junior Championships the same year.
In just two years since then, the youngster had a meteoric rise and became a force to reckon with as she won tournaments galore. The southpaw reigned supreme at the French Open and the Japan Open Superseries, besides adding the Swiss Open and the Bitburger Open titles as well.
