Zhang Shuai, the only Chinese player to complete this season's competition, has made a new breakthrough in women's doubles, winning the WTA 500 Ostrava, WTA 1000 Cincinnati and US Open women's doubles titles, and successfully entering the WTA women's doubles year-end finals. Other Golden Flowers failed to complete this season's events due to various factors, and lost a lot in terms of points and bonus income.
Wang Qiang ranked 34th at the beginning of the year, after playing the French Open, announced that she would give up a series of tour tournaments including Wimbledon and the US Open, returned to China for training in advance, competed in the Tokyo Olympic Games and the National Games, and slipped to 105th place at the end of the year, without the opportunity to directly enter the Australian Open main tournament (wang Qiang has become the first substitute and is expected to be shortlisted for the main tournament, the premise is that another person needs to retire), she has long been mentally prepared, saying: "The big deal is to start from the ITF and will come back soon." At present, she has been training abroad for winter training and is actively preparing for the new season.
Zheng Saisai ranked 42nd at the beginning of the year, and like Wang Qiang, she gave up Wimbledon, the US Open and other tour events to complete the national mission (to participate in the Tokyo Olympic Games and the National Games), but at the end of the season she continued to go abroad to compete in the tour, ranking 80th at the end of the year, and was confirmed to be shortlisted for the Australian Open.
U.S. Open women's doubles runner-up Xu Yipan also abandoned Wimbledon, U.S. Open and a series of other tour events, and the women's doubles ranking slipped from 9th to 37th.
Wang Xiyu originally took a wild card to participate in the Australian Open main tournament, but unfortunately infected with new crown pneumonia, forced to withdraw from the competition, and the world ranking slid from 123rd to 145th.
CTA women's singles champion Wang Yafan slipped from 95th to 307th. Zhu Lin's world ranking slipped from 91st to 142nd.
Other Golden Flowers also suffered a serious decline in the world rankings. However, Wang Xinyu reached the final of the WTA Columbus station, The Coumair station and the linz quarterfinals, successfully entering the world's top 100 for the first time and entering the Australian Open. Zheng Qinwen achieved an excellent result of 32 wins and 9 losses in the ITF, successfully entered the world's top 200 for the first time, and was shortlisted for the Australian Open qualifiers.
When many people criticize Chinese players for only fighting at home, why don't they want to compete on the tour?
