2011

Xu posted good results at the 2011 Guangzhou International Women's Open where she fought her way from the qualifying draw unseeded, defeating 7th seed Wang Qiang and 10th seed Chan Chin-Wei to qualify. In the first round, she lost to Mandy Minella 2–6, 7–6(5), 6–0.

2014

On 2 September 2014, Xu made it to the Quarter Finals in Women's Doubles at the 2014 US Open, where she defeated the 6th seeded team Raquel Kops-Jones and Abigail Spears, and the 11th seeded team Lucie Hradecka and Michaella Krajicek before her partner Zarina Diyas retired.

On 28 October 2014, Xu came back from a 5-1 game deficit for the win in the Ningbo Challenger series against her old rival, Zhang Kailin.

In January, Xu partnered with two-time Grand Slam Doubles champion Peng Shuai in women's doubles at the 2015 Australian Open.
