Some of the highlights of her 2012 season included winning 4 ITF titles at the 25k level in Wellington, Changwon, Gimcheon and Goyang. Playing qualifying at the US Open, Duan had her first experience in a Grand Slam tournament. She would win her first qualifying round defeating Réka-Luca Jani, but would fall in the next round to Kirsten Flipkens. She received a wildcard to the 2012 Guangzhou International Women's Open and won her first WTA main draw match defeating Luksika Khumkum in the first round. Duan also achieved her best results in ITF challengers near the end of 2012, reaching the semifinals of 100K+H Ningbo and the finals of 100K Suzhou, losing both matches to top-100 veteran Su-Wei Hsieh.

Duan was due to make her main draw Grand Slam singles debut at Wimbledon, but withdrew to compete in the National Games of the People's Republic of China. She made her Grand Slam singles debut in the main draw of the US Open after winning three qualifying matches. She lost to sixth seed Caroline Wozniacki in the opening round.
