In 2020, Wong reached the quarterfinals in Australian Open girls' singles, which was the best ever result of Hong Kong players in Australian Open juniors, and the first Hong Kong player to reach quarterfinals of Grand Slam singles since Patricia Hy-Boulais in 1983.[1]

In 2019, she also advanced to semifinals in girls' doubles of the US Open, and quarterfinals of the French Open, again the best ever result of female Hong Kong players in US Open and French Open juniors. Wong won five singles and seven doubles titles at the juniors ITF World Tennis Tour, with a career high ranking of 18.[citation needed]

Wong first played on the WTA Tour in the 2016 Hong Kong Open, when she was awarded a wildcard for the qualifying draw, and again in 2017 and 2018. She began competing on the ITF Women's Circuit in 2017, and won her first singles title in October 2019 in Hua Hin, Thailand.[citation needed]

Since returning after the COVID-19 pandemic in October 2021, Wong has a breakout season with one singles and 13 doubles titles, including her first $25k and $60k doubles title. She holds a 59–7 record when pairing up with Eudice Chong, winning thirteen titles together.[citation needed]

Wong also represents Hong Kong in the Billie Jean King Cup.[2]

In May 2023, Wong won her first $25k singles title in Incheon, South Korea.[citation needed]

Wong made her WTA Tour main-draw debut as a wildcard entrant at the 2023 Hong Kong Tennis Open, losing to qualifier Sofya Lansere in the first round.[3][4]
