He returned to professional competition in 2020 at age 24, motivated by renewed passion for the game. Since his comeback, Tu has won nine ITF singles titles, including four in Monastir, Tunisia, and reached a career-high ITF ranking of No. 79 in May .

Career

2011–2014: Pro debut and retirement

Li Tu made his professional debut on the ITF Futures circuit in 2011 at the age of 15, competing in several events but struggling to secure wins, losing in the first round of his initial four tournaments. As a promising junior who had represented in the Junior Davis Cup in 2012 and made his Grand Slam debut at the Junior Championships, Tu balanced pro appearances with junior commitments, reaching the world's top 700 in junior rankings that year. However, his early pro results remained limited, with no recorded titles or deep runs until 2014. In 2014, Tu experienced a brief resurgence on the ITF circuit. He claimed his first professional match win in February at an Australian Futures event, followed by a second-round appearance at another domestic tournament later that month. His most notable achievement came in at the F5 Futures in Glen Iris, where, as a wildcard, he reached the quarterfinals—defeating compatriot in the first round before falling to Bradley Mousley in the second—marking his best pro result at the time. Despite this progress, the pressures of transitioning from a top junior prospect—where he had rivaled players like for Australia's No. 1 spot—to the professional level proved overwhelming. Citing burnout and excessive expectations, Tu retired from competitive in June 2014 at age 18, shifting focus to education and eventually earning a from the in 2017.

2020–2021: Return, ATP and major debut, four ITF titles

After a six-year retirement due to burnout and excessive expectations, Li Tu returned to competitive in 2020 by competing in the UTR Pro Tennis Series in , where he compiled a strong 34–2 record across events in 2020 and early 2021. This success on the alternative professional circuit, which emphasized universal tennis ratings over traditional rankings, reignited his career and led to opportunities on higher-level tours. Tu made his ATP Tour debut in February 2021 at the Murray River Open in , entering the main draw as a wildcard; he lost in the first round to qualifier Yasutaka Uchiyama, 6–3, 3–6, 2–6. Later that month, he received a wildcard for the , marking his Grand Slam main-draw debut; in the first round, he fell to , 4–6, 7–6(7–2), 3–6, 3–6. Building momentum from his domestic performances, Tu ventured internationally in mid-, focusing on the ITF World Tennis Tour in . As an unranked player, he claimed his first ITF singles title in August 2021 at the M15 Monastir event, defeating Vít Kopřiva 6–3, 6–4 in the final after qualifying. He followed this with three more consecutive M15 titles in Monastir later that year—on against Murkel Dellien (6–1, 6–1), September 12 against Sathish Kumar Mukkala (6–2, 6–3), and October 3 against Nick Lajović (6–1, 6–3)—all on hard courts, bringing his total to four ITF titles for the period and elevating his ranking to No. 517 by year's end. These wins highlighted his aggressive baseline game and resilience, establishing a foundation for further professional growth.

2022: Maiden Challenger title, top 200 debut

In 2022, Li Tu continued his resurgence on the professional circuit, building on his 2021 ITF successes with consistent performances across lower-tier events. Early in the year, he secured his first title at the M25 ITF tournament on hard courts in , defeating fellow Australian Li Yuan in the final. This victory contributed to his steady climb up the rankings, as he accumulated points through additional deep runs in Australian ITF events, including semifinals in and quarterfinals in multiple M25 stops. By mid-year, Tu had ventured internationally, reaching finals in clay-court ITF tournaments in and , which helped him approach the top 500 in the . He won the M25 title in May. Tu's breakthrough came in October at the Challenger, his seventh appearance on the ATP Challenger Tour. Entering as a qualifier ranked outside the top 300, he navigated a grueling path to the title, winning seven consecutive matches over 10 days. In qualifying, he overcame and Tomohiro Masabayashi, both in straight sets. In the main draw, Tu upset higher-ranked opponents, including a 6-4, 7-6(4) quarterfinal victory over Japan's and a 6-3, 7-6(5) semifinal win against compatriot . The final against China's Yibing Wu, a former top-50 player, was a tense that Tu clinched 7-6(5), 6-4, saving multiple break points in the second set to secure his maiden Challenger crown. The triumph was particularly poignant, occurring just weeks after the death of his mother from cancer on September 24; Tu dedicated the title to her, noting it fell on the eve of her birthday. The victory propelled Tu into the ATP top 200 for the first time, debuting at No. 190 in the rankings update on October 17, —a leap of over 100 spots from his pre-tournament position. This marked a career-high at the time and validated his return to professional after a six-year hiatus, earning him $16,000 in prize money and significant momentum heading into the season's end.

2023: First ATP Tour win

His breakthrough arrived a month later at the in Newport, another ATP 250 on grass. Ranked No. 252, Tu qualified for the main draw by beating and in straight sets. In the opening round at Newport, Tu faced fellow Australian , ranked No. 83, and delivered a composed performance to win 6-3, 7-6(6), securing his maiden main draw victory after more than two years on the circuit. The match highlighted Tu's improving grass-court game, as he converted key break points and held serve under pressure in the tight second-set tiebreak. This result propelled him into the second round, where he put up a strong fight against American before falling 4-6, 6-7(5). Tu closed the year with another main draw entry at the in September, entering as a after qualifying losses. He met Frenchman in the first round and lost a hard-fought contest 7-6(5), 6-7(6). Overall, Tu's singles record stood at 1-3, reflecting his growing presence at the elite level while he continued to accumulate Challenger points to climb the rankings. He also won his seventh ITF singles title at the M15 Monastir event in December.

2024: US Open debut

In 2024, Li Tu qualified for the main of the US Open for the first time in his career, marking his debut at the tournament after winning three qualifying rounds. Ranked No. 186 at the time, Tu navigated strong opponents, including a three-set victory over in the final qualifying round, to reach the main .

Alcaraz ultimately prevailed 6-2, 4-6, 6-3, 6-1, but Tu's performance pushed the defending champion and four-time Grand Slam winner to four sets and drew praise for its competitiveness. Despite the loss, Tu's debut highlighted his growing presence on the , as he became the first Australian qualifier to face Alcaraz at a major since 2022. The US Open appearance was emotionally significant for Tu, who dedicated his efforts to his late mother, reflecting on personal challenges that fueled his return to professional . This debut capped a resurgent year for Tu, who had climbed into the top 200 earlier in 2024 through consistent Challenger-level results and won an ITF M25 title in in September. He also secured his first ATP Challenger doubles title in in .

2025: Adelaide International second round

As a wildcard entrant into the main draw of the 2025 International, an ATP 250 hard-court event held in , , Li Tu competed in the first round against compatriot James Duckworth on 7 . Tu dominated the opening set, breaking Duckworth multiple times to secure a 6–1 victory, before edging a tighter second set 7–5 after saving break points in key moments, thus advancing to the second round for the first time at this tournament. In the second round on 8 January, Tu faced French qualifier , ranked significantly higher at the time. , who had come through qualifying, proved too strong, winning 6–3, 6–3 in straight sets over 1 hour and 35 minutes, with Tu struggling to convert break opportunities against Bonzi's consistent serving and baseline play. This result earned Tu 45 ATP ranking points and marked his earliest exit at the Adelaide International since his return to professional tennis. Throughout 2025, Tu achieved his career-high ATP singles ranking of No. 160 on July 14, driven by strong performances on the Challenger circuit, including deep runs that boosted his standing before ending the year at No. 256 as of November.
