The 22-year-old, who celebrated her birthday last Thursday, had a breakthrough year in 2016 winning four titles, including two Superseries. Since her back-to-back triumphs at the French Open and the Bitburger Open in late 2016, however, the Chinese left-hander has been unable to match those exploits.
Still, the world No.7 believes she has been on the right track, citing her performances in 2018, when she was in a number of major semifinals. The responsibility of being one of China’s main women’s singles players has made a difference.
“Last year was much better (compared to 2016), even if I never won any title,” He Bingjiao said while relaxing before the start of competition at the India Open.
