Xu Shilin (Chinese: 徐诗霖; pinyin: Xú Shīlín; Mandarin pronunciation: [ɕy̌ ʂɻ̩́ lǐn]; born 10 January 1998) is an active Chinese tennis player.
Xu was born in Zhongshan, and has won five singles and six doubles titles on the ITF Women's Circuit. On 6 May 2019, she reached her best singles ranking of world No. 190. On 22 August 2016, she peaked at No. 127 in the WTA doubles rankings.
Having not competed on the pro circuit since July 2021, she returned to competition in May 2025 after nearly 45 months away from the tour.
2013
Partnering Sun Ziyue, Xu won her first $50k tournament at Sanya, defeating Yang Zhaoxuan and Zhao Yijing in the 2013 final.
2014
At the Shenzhen Open, Xu made her WTA Tour debut. Having been given a wild card into qualifying for the singles main draw, she was drawn against Britain's Johanna Konta. Despite a difference of over 500 places in the world rankings, Xu won in straight sets,[1] but lost to Lyudmyla Kichenok in the final round. Partnering Sun Ziyue again in doubles at the tournament, Xu was given a wild card into the main draw,[2] but couldn't make it past her fellow Chinese pairing of Wang Yafan and Zheng Jie,[2] who later made it to the semifinals.[2]
At the 2014 Summer Youth Olympics in Nanjing, Xu won the gold medal in girls' singles, having defeated Iryna Shymanovich of Belarus in straight sets in the final.[citation needed]
