Later in the year, she reached her second semifinal at the Japan Women's Open, again coming through qualifying, while also scoring her first victory over a top-20 player, the top seed Kristina Mladenovic. She lost to fellow qualifier Miyu Kato, after failing to convert a match point.[citation needed] As a result, she made her top 100 debut on 18 September 2017.

In the second round, she played against second seed Caroline Wozniacki and had two match points, leading 40/15 at 5–1 in the third set. However, she lost that game and the successive five games to yield the match.[citation needed]
