On January 13, Beijing time, the 2022 Australian Open main competition signing table was released. In this Australian Open women's singles competition, a total of 5 Chinese Jinhua players, Zhang Shuai, Zheng Saisai, Wang Xinyu, Wang Qiang and Wang Xiyu, also had Zheng Qinwen and Yuan Yue enter the qualifying round. Judging from the signs of the 5 Golden Flowers that have been determined, Zhang Shuai and Wang Qiang have poor luck, while Wang Xinyu has the possibility of making a breakthrough.
Zhang Shuai's opponent in the first round is the Swiss Golubić, who is ranked 41st in the world. Zhang Shuai and his opponents have met 3 times before, and Golubic has won 2 of them. Golubic's previous five appearances in the Australian Open were all stopped in the first round, and Zhang Shuai had just suffered a three-game losing streak in New Year's Eve singles. Even after breaking through the barrier of Golubic, Zhang Shuai may face the 12th seed Lebakina in the second round, and the difference in strength and status between the two is very obvious.
Wang Qiang, who stopped the first round of the qualifiers in two consecutive tournaments, was played against the American talented girl Gauff in the first round of the Australian Open. Gauff won three consecutive games in Adelaide this week to advance to the final four, and the start of the new season showed very good momentum. On the other hand, Wang Qiang's ranking has plummeted, and he has fallen out of the world's top 100. Wang Qiang and Gao Fu have met twice before, and Gao Fu has won the game in two straight sets.
Wang Xinyu's opponent in the first round of the tournament is Chinese player Ang Lee. Ang Lee, 21, is currently ranked 44th in the world, and her improvement last season has been very noticeable. Wang Xinyu also improved rapidly last year, and the world ranking was once in the top 100. Ang Lee reached the third round of the Australian Open last year, and Wang Xinyu never won the Australian Open. If you can break through Ang Lee's level, Wang Xinyu's opponent in the second round is the recently poor No. 2 seed Sabarenka or wild card player Sanders.
Zheng Saisai's opponent in the first round is a qualifier, and after the start of the new season, Zheng Saisai's state is confusing, and it is also not easy to face the qualifiers. Even if you break through from the first round, Zheng Saisai's possible opponent in the second round is the 8th seed Bardoza, and it is difficult to continue to move forward.
Wang Xiyu, who played with a wild card, also faced a qualifier in the first round, and judging from Wang Xiyu's performance in the second half of last year and the beginning of this season, her state has obviously not adjusted to the best. If she can successfully pass the first round, her opponents in the second round are the winners of No. 4 seed Klečkova and Germany's Petkovic, and she may not be able to continue to make breakthroughs unless she has an extraordinary performance.
