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. This was the biggest win in her career.[4] Although she lost to Japan's Akane Yamaguchi in straight games in the semi-final,[5] she won a bronze medal, which was her first ever medal from a major tournament.
