24岁的王曦雨延续了今年复出以来的强势状态，在马鞍山W50女单首轮以6-1/6-1击败17岁新星张瑞恩。王曦雨取得了复出以来的6连胜。她在此前的马鞍山W35女单比赛以5胜0负的战绩夺得了冠军。 Islamabad, Oct 21 (UNI) The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) on Friday removed Pakistan from a list of countries under “increased monitoring”, also known as the “grey list”.
Addressing the press conference at the conclusion of the its plenary, President Raja Kumar noted that Pakistan had been on the grey list since 2018.
“It has two concurrent action plans. After a lot of work by Pakistan authorities, they have largely addressed all of the action plan items,” he said.
He stated that the task force had conducted an onsite visit at the end of August. The onsite team verified that there is a high-level of commitment from the Pakistani leadership, sustainability of reforms and commitment to make improvements in the future, he said.
“As a result of these action plans, Pakistan has made significant improvements to strengthen the effectiveness of this framework for combatting terrorism financing.”
Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari was quick to congratulate the country on the development moments before the FATF press conference began, according to Dawn reports.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said Pakistan’s exiting the FATF grey list is a “vindication of our determined and sustained efforts over the years”, according to reports.
He congratulated the civil and military leadership as well as all institutions whose hard work led to today’s success. “Aap sab ko bohat bohat Mubarak,” the premier said, following up with a text smiley.
In a follow-up tweet, PM Shehbaz particularly commended the role and efforts of Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto, Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa and their teams and all political parties for putting up a united front to get Pakistan out of the grey list.
Pakistan was included among jurisdictions under increased monitoring list in June 2018 for deficiencies in its legal, financial, regulatory, investigations, prosecution, judicial and non-government sector to fight money laundering and combat terror financing considered serious threat to global financial system.
Islamabad made high-level political commitments to address these deficiencies under a 27-point action plan. But later the number of action points was enhanced to 34.
The country had since been vigorously working with FATF and its affiliates to strengthen its legal and financial systems against money laundering and terror financing to meet international standards in line with 40-recommendations of the FATF.
A 15-member joint delegation of the FATF and its Sydney-based regional affiliate — Asia Pacific Group — paid an onsite visit to Pakistan from Aug 29 to Sept 2 to verify the country’s compliance with the 34-point action plan committed with the FATF.
The authorities that had kept the countrywide visit of the delegation low profile later termed it “a smooth and successful visit”.
The delegation had detailed discussions with relevant agencies pursuant to the authorisation of onsite Visit by FATF Plenary in June 2022.
According to the Foreign Office, the focus of the visit was to validate on ground Pakistan’s high-level commitment and sustainability of reforms in AML/CFT regime and [it] looked forward to logical conclusion to the evaluation process.
Pakistan believed that as a result of strenuous and consistent efforts over the past four years, it has not only achieved a high degree of technical compliance with FATF standards but also ensured high level of effectiveness through implementation of two comprehensive FATF action plans.
In June this year, FATF had found Pakistan “compliant or largely compliant” on all the 34 points and had decided to field an onsite mission to verify it on ground before formally announcing the country’s exit from the grey list that finally took place in August and September.
In terms of technical compliance with FATF standards, Pakistan has been rated by APG as “compliant or largely compliant” in 38 out of 40 FATF recommendations in August this year, which placed the country among the top compliant countries in the world.

二 | 王曦雨继续参加马鞍山W50女单比赛，顺利杀进第二轮。王曦雨收获6个积分，即时排名来到了第200名。王曦雨在上一站夺冠之后，曾经表示希望尽快将自己的排名提升到前100名，参加更多的高级别比赛。现在，王曦雨正朝着这个目标大踏步前进。张瑞恩是中国女网近些年涌现出来的新星之一，曾经是中国女网青少年一姐，但在2025年她的青少年世界排名被孙心然超越。王曦雨当过中国女网青少年一姐，在青少年时代，王曦雨取得了比张瑞恩更高的成就。王曦雨在2018年夺得了美网青少年大满贯女单冠军，成为第一个拿下青少年女单大满贯的中国选手。那一年，王曦雨还和王欣瑜联手夺得了温网青少年大满贯女双冠军。
三 | 在中国女网小花中，王曦雨在青少年时代取得的成绩仍然属于天花板。她有着1米82的身高，运动能力出众。张瑞恩和王曦雨交手，受到了全面的压制，两盘的比分都是1比6。这也说明，张瑞恩还有很多需要提升的地方。
四 | 张瑞恩即将完全征战成年级别的比赛了，将面临更多强劲的对手。她需要不断挑战强手来提升自己的实力。王曦雨则是在通过一系列比赛来找回状态。“希望自己一点一点回到前一百，打更多高级别的比赛。根据我的排名和状态，多去享受这些竞争的环境吧。”王曦雨说道。王曦雨的世界排名最高曾经达到第50名，只不过她进入成年级别的比赛之后伤病不断。王曦雨在3月初复出前因为肩部伤势休养了多个月。这次复出，王曦雨的一个愿望就是希望不要受伤，耐心一点去比赛。伤病是束缚王曦雨继续攀升的一个障碍。她在青少年时代曾经站在了青少年大满贯赛事的最高领奖台。进入成年组的比赛之后，她的成长远远低于人们的预期，相比之下，她同一个时代闪耀的小花郑钦文和王欣瑜取得了更出色的成绩。对于王曦雨来说，目前24岁的她仍然处在网球运动员的黄金年龄。她还有继续提升的空间。这些年经验的积累，再加上技术的进步，或许可以推动她迎来一个新的飞跃。王曦雨在加速向世界前100发起冲击。期待她迎来更加闪耀的时刻！
