Early career
Born in Hangzhou, Wu took up tennis at a young age.
Junior career
In 2017, Wu reached the semifinals in both boys' singles and doubles at the Australian Open, and won both the boys' singles and doubles events (with Chinese Taipei player Hsu Yu-hsiou) at the US Open, thus became the first Chinese male to win a Grand Slam Junior title. Following the Junior US Open title, Wu reached an ITF junior combined ranking of world No. 1 on 11 September 2017.
Professional career
2017–18: ATP and Masters 1000 debuts, first ATP Tour win
In October 2017, Wu received another wildcard and made his Masters debut at the Shanghai Masters, losing to Gilles Simon in the first round. In 2018, he recorded his first ATP win against compatriot Li Zhe at the Shanghai Masters. In the second round, he lost against eight seed and No. 1 Asian player Kei Nishikori in three sets.
2022: Historic major debut, top 125
In 2022, Wu won three Challenger titles in the United States, including back-to-back trophy runs in July in Rome, Georgia and Indianapolis, Indiana. As a result, on 25 July, he reached the top 200 at a career-high of No. 174. His four career total Challenger titles made him the most decorated Chinese player in the circuit's history.
At the US Open, Wu qualified to make his major debut. He became the first male Chinese in the Open Era to qualify at the US Open, winning his last qualifying match before Zhang Zhizhen also won his last match later in the same day. Wu won his first round match against 31st seed Nikoloz Basilashvili, becoming the first male Chinese player to win a US Open match in the Open era and a Grand Slam match in 63 years since Mei Fu Chi at Wimbledon 1959. He beat fellow qualifier Nuno Borges in five sets in the second round to become the first Chinese male player to reach the third round of any Grand Slam event since Kho Sin-Kie in 1946 Wimbledon. He also became the first Chinese man ever to reach the third round in the tournament history (since 1881).
2023: First Chinese ATP champion in the Open Era, top 55
Wu started his season playing the first Adelaide International, where in qualifying, he defeated Ugo Humbert but lost against Alexei Popyrin. He received a wildcard into the 2023 Australian Open, where he lost against Corentin Moutet in the first round. Following a final showing in the Cleveland Challenger, Wu made his debut in the top 100, at world No. 97 on 6 February 2023, becoming the second Chinese male player to do so after Zhang Zhizhen four months earlier.
In Dallas, Wu defeated Michael Mmoh in the first round, then claimed the biggest win of his career by defeating third seed Denis Shapovalov in the second round to reach his first ATP Tour-level quarterfinal. He beat Adrian Mannarino to become the first Chinese player since Pan Bing in 1995 to reach an ATP Tour-level semifinal as well as the second from China to do so. By defeating top seed and world No. 8 Taylor Fritz in the semifinals, he became the first Chinese male ever to defeat a top 10 ranked player and to make an ATP Tour level final in the Open Era. He went one step further to win the title defeating John Isner, after saving four championship points in the match, and become the first Chinese man in the Open Era to win an ATP Tour title. By doing so, he became the highest-ranked Chinese player in the history of the ATP rankings, and overtook Zhang to become the first Chinese player to enter the top 60 on 13 February 2023. He received a wildcard for the 2023 BNP Paribas Open where he defeated Jaume Munar for his first win at this tournament. At the 2023 Miami Open, he recorded also his first win at this Masters against Kyle Edmund.
2024–25: Historic Masters third round, home semifinal, injury
Wu made his return from an injury that halted his 2023 season at the challenger in Jinan, where – despite being inactive for the majority of the season – he won the title, defeating Rio Noguchi in the final. He received a wildcard for 2024 Shanghai Masters, and defeated Sumit Nagal and 25th seed Nicolás Jarry to become the second ever Chinese man to reach the third round of Shanghai (after Zhang Zhizhen), where he lost against Carlos Alcaraz. Wu won his sixth Challenger title at the 2025 Texas Spine and Joint Championships in Tyler.
Wu recorded his first win at tour-level since the French Open at the US Open, defeating Adam Walton in straight sets.[citation needed] He then defeated James Duckworth in the second round to replicate his best ever Grand Slam performance by reaching the third round.[citation needed]
