Immediately afterwards GUO Yue became Pro-Tour Doubles champion for the 4th time and also won the finals of the women's singles. By doing that GUO Yue became the youngest ever winner of a Pro Tour Tournament. After reaching the quarter finals of the World Championships and winning of the doubles silver medal this is the first big succes for the teenager, who is considered as the biggest talent in the history of Chinese Table Tennis.

GUO Yue first appeared as 13-year-old at the Austrian Open in Open 2002 in Europe. Even then she reached the quarter finals and reached attention.
