Yuan Meng (born 9 May 1986) () is a former Chinese professional tennis player. Yuan has won four singles titles and one doubles title on tournaments of the ITF Circuit. Career 2001–2004 Yuan began competing on the ITF Circuit at age 15 in May 2001. However, that year she lost in the first round of qualifying in all four events she entered, and ended the year still unranked. In 2002, she won seven matches in qualifying and one in a main draw, and finished the year ranked 984th. The following year, she won 11 matches in qualifying and five in main draws, and after reaching the final qualifying round for a $50k event at Shenzhen she finished the year world-ranked nearly 300 places higher, at 689th. In March 2004, she reached the final of a $10k grass-court event at Yarrawonga, Australia, only to default to her last opponent. In early June, shortly after her eighteenth birthday, she reached the semifinal of a $25,000 event at Wulanhaote, before losing to more experienced countrywoman Liu Nannan.

In March, she finally won her first career ITF singles title at the $10k grass-court event in Benalla, also in Australia. She performed solidly in several successive $25k tournaments over the Spring, reaching the semifinal at Campobasso, Italy in May with an impressive win over emerging Slovak star Jarmila Gajdošová (before losing to Mariya Koryttseva of Ukraine in three sets), and defeating Gajdosova in three once more, as well as the equally promising youngster Kaia Kanepi of Estonia, and the experienced Australian Christina Wheeler, in reaching the final at Grado in June. In August, she nearly qualified for the $50k Bronx Open after a fine three-set victory over Tatiana Poutchek, but lost in the deciding set in an extremely close qualifying-round match against German Angelika Bachmann. In September, Yuan won her second career singles title and first $50k title at Beijing, defeating the highly competent top-150 player Vilmarie Castellvi 4–6, 6–4, 6–4 in the final. Then she finally
