(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Starting in 2001, Nannan has enjoyed considerable success on the ITF circuit, and occasionally qualified for WTA Tour events. Though her success at the WTA level of the game has so far fallen short of the stellar heights achieved by some of her Chinese contemporaries such as Peng Shuai, Li Na, Zheng Jie, Sun Tiantian and Yan Zi, she has come close enough at times for future hope of stronger results to justifiably abide.In  March 2001, she came through qualifying to win a $25,000 tournament at Hangzhou, defeating Akiko Morigami, Zheng Jie and Rika Fujiwara in the last three rounds. In July, she won a $10,000 tournament at Tianjin, defeating Peng Shuai in the semi-final; and later the same month she was the losing finalist to Li Na in the $25,000 tournament at Guangzhou. She ended the year world-ranked 275.In January 2002, she won back-to-back $10,000 tournaments in the UK, at Hull and Tipton, but suffered mixed results for the remainder of the year, losing in numerous quarter-finals and semi-finals, and finished it world-ranked slighter lower, at 297.       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x42003 was a relatively poor year for Liu as a singles player until December, when she reached the quarter-final of a $50,000 tournament at Shenzhen with a clean run of five straight sets wins in qualifying and the main draw, only to cede victory to Zheng Jie by default. Not even this run could stop her year-end ranking from falling outside the Top 400, at 401.2004 was Liu’s most successful year to date as a singles player. She began it by winning a $10,000 tournament at Tampa, Florida, the fifth ITF singles title of her career. In June, she was the losing finalist to Li Na at a $25,000 tournament at Wulanhaote, and losing semi-finalist to Li Na at a $50,000 tournament at Beijing.  In July, she came through qualifying to reach the semi-final at another $50,000 tournament, at Lexington, KY, with wins over Shikha Uberoi, Rika Fujiwara and Aiko Nakamura. In August, she defeated future star Jarmila Gajdo\u0161ov\u00e1 in the first round of another $50,000 tournament at Louisville, then came through qualifying to the main draw of her first grand-slam tournament, the U.S. Open, only to lose to Paola Su\u00e1rez. In September, she also qualified for the WTA tournament at Guangzhou, but lost in the first round after a close contest with Kristina Brandi. She ended the year world-ranked 170th, up 231 places year-on-year.Early in 2005, Liu continued to play some of her best tennis, qualifying for Hobart with wins over Sofia Arvidsson and Maureen Drake (only to lose in the first round to Gisela Dulko) and for the Australian Open with a win over Yuka Yoshida (only to be ousted from the main draw at the first hurdle by Vera Zvonareva). In April, she reached the semi-final of a $75,000 tournament at Dothan, Alabama, losing to Varvara Lepchenko. This brought up her world-ranking to a high point of 145. She was destined to lose her opening match at four of the next five events she entered, the only exception being a $50,000 ITF tournament at Beijing in June, where she reached the semi-final before conceding a walkover to Li Ting. Since losing to Lepchenko once more in the first round of qualifying for Los Angeles, early in August 2005, Liu has not played another singles match. Her world ranking has therefore plummeted to 344th at the time of writing (March 4, 2006).Table of ContentsITF Circuit finals[edit]Singles (5\u20134)[edit]Doubles (2-4)[edit]See also[edit]External links[edit]ITF Circuit finals[edit]$50,000 tournaments$25,000 tournaments$10,000 tournamentsSingles (5\u20134)[edit]OutcomeNo.DateTournamentSurfaceOpponentScoreWinner1.5 March 2001Hangzhou, ChinaHard Rika Fujiwara7\u20136(2), 3\u20136, 7\u20135Runner-up2.15 July 2001Tianjin, ChinaHard Peng Shuai0-1 ret.Winner3.22 July 2001Tianjin, ChinaHard Yao Lan6-4, 6-3Runner-up4.29 July 2001Guangzhou, ChinaHard Li Na1\u20136, 2\u20136Winner5.27 January 2002Hull, United KingdomHard (i) Yan Zi6\u20131, 6\u20132Winner6.29 January 2002Tipton, United KingdomHard (i) Ekaterina Sysoeva4\u20136, 7\u20135, 6\u20134Winner7.18 January 2004Tampa, United StatesHard Kristen Schlukebir6-3, 6-1Runner-up8.18 January 2004Boca Raton, United StatesHard Kelly McCain1-6, 6-3, 0-6Runner-up9.6 June 2004Wulanhaote, ChinaHard Li Na0\u20136, 0\u20136Doubles (2-4)[edit]OutcomeNo.DateTournamentSurfacePartneringOpponentsScoreRunner-up1.15 July 2001Tianjin, ChinaClay Peng Shuai Ma Enyue Xie Yanze5\u20137, 7\u20135, 4\u20136Winner2.4 June 2001Shenzhen, ChinaHard Peng Shuai Li Ting  Lui-Li Shen6-4, 6-1Runner-up3.27 February 2003Belfort, FranceCarpet Xie Yanze Kim Kilsdonk  Sophie Lef\u00e8vre3\u20136, 3\u20136Runner-up4.23 May 2004Beijing, ChinaHard Du Rui L\u012bga Dekmeijere  \u0130pek \u015eeno\u011flu6\u20134, 4\u20136, 6\u20137(1)Runner-up5.6 June 2004Wulanhaote, ChinaHard Du Rui Chuang Chia-jung  Napaporn Tongsalee6\u20133, 2\u20136, 3\u20136Winner6.22 August 2004Bronx, United StatesHard Li Na Jessica Lehnhoff  Christina Wheeler5\u20137, 6\u20133, 6\u20133See also[edit]External links[edit]     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/liu-nannan-wikipedia\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Liu Nannan – Wikipedia"}}]}]
