Career
2021
In 2021, Zhang participated in the 2021 BWF World Championships in the women's singles category. The unseeded Zhang defeated Hong Kong's Cheung Ngan Yi in the first round before receiving a walkover to the third round, where she defeated the sixteenth seed Kim Ga-eun of South Korea in straight games. Then in the quarter-finals, she shocked the seventh seed and former world champion Ratchanok Intanon in a hard-fought three-game match, 13–21, 21–13, 21–15. This was the biggest win in her career.[3] Although she lost to Japan's Akane Yamaguchi in straight games (19–21, 19–21) in the semi-final,[4] she won a bronze medal, which was her first ever medal from a major tournament.
