Professional career[edit]

2022: First tournament wins[edit]

After not playing on the ITF World Tennis Tour in 2021, Wei began 2022 competing in qualifying draws at the $15k level. With steadily improving results, she won her first final at the end of June. This led to a total of 16 titles (6 in singles, 10 in doubles), and her WTA ranking climbed from 1054 at the end of 2020 to 434 a year later.[2] All 16 titles were won in Monastir. In 2022, her first full year on the ITF Women's Tour, Wei won more matches than any other player with 64 main-draw wins. Her total of ten doubles titles was also equal to the most for any player.[3]

Wei won her first ITF Circuit title above the $15k-level at the 2022 Open Feu Aziz Zouhir, in the doubles draw, partnering Priska Madelyn Nugroho. It was the fourth title win for the two partners.

2023: WTA debut[edit]

She received a wildcard for the qualifying competition for the WTA 1000 2023 China Open.

She qualified for the 2023 Jiangxi Open making her WTA debut.[4]
