Over the next two weeks, the focus of tennis will be on Australia, with the annual Australian Open taking place in Melbourne. This year's Australian Open women's singles arena will be very competitive, with a total of 14 Grand Slam champions competing. In this chaotic world of women's tennis where everyone has a chance to win, who can laugh at the end of this Australian Open? Will the 6-place Chinese Golden Flower usher in a breakthrough?
Since Serena Williams' dominance declined, the women's tennis world has lacked an absolute leader. The last time someone defended his grand slam title was Wimbledon Serena Williams in 2016, the last time someone won a grand slam title was in 2015, and the last time someone defended the title at the Australian Open was back to Azarenka in 2013. There have been many Grand Slam champions in the past 5 years, but it is difficult for everyone to have a consistent and stable performance.
Batty, the world's number one in the homegrown campaign, is the biggest favourite to win this year's Australian Open. However, Barty's signing at the Australian Open was not good, and in the fourth round she may have met Naomi Osaka in advance. In terms of strength alone, Naomi Osaka also has great hopes of competing for the championship, but it is more her mentality that determines how far she can go.
No. 2 seed Sabalenka started the season with two consecutive defeats and was in a very sluggish state, but fortunately she had good luck and would not face too many challenges in the first four rounds of the game and could have enough time to adjust. No. 3 seed Muguruza also said it was bad in his warm-up before this year's Australian Open. No. 4 seed Klechkova's previous best record at the Australian Open was only in the second round, and she also had to balance singles and doubles at this Australian Open.
Among the other high-seeded players, Sakkari, Kontawirt, Sviatek, Jaberur and others also have their own problems. No. 8 seed Bardoza has been in good shape recently, and she may be eye-catching at this Australian Open. In addition, seeded players such as Halep, Konin and Lebakina also have great hopes of going deeper into the australian open.
Almost every Grand Slam event will have a blockbuster dark horse, especially in this chaotic world of flowers, the dark horse may be even greater. Last year's US Open champion and runner-up Raducannu and Fernandez became famous in a battle, but after the US Open, both of them have ups and downs, and this year's Australian Open these two may not go too far. Who will be the dark horse of this year's Australian Open? These few people can focus on: Badosa and Lebakina among the seeded players, and Connew and Anisimova of the non-seeded players.
A total of 6 people from China Jinhua have entered the Australian Open women's singles tournament, and several people are not too good at signing in this tournament. After Zheng Qinwen broke through, he drew Sassnovich, and it was difficult to go further. Wang Xiyu qualifier Kuzmova, who participated in the wild card, judging from Wang Xiyu's recent state, I am afraid that she will find it difficult for her to make a difference. Wang Qiang is facing the American rising star Gao Fu, who has defeated herself twice, and it is very difficult to break through the first round. Zheng Saisai against Trevisan, who broke through in the qualifiers, will be a battle of encounters. Zhang Shuai's opponent is Golubic, and Wang Xinyu will play against Ang Lee, and the two games have a fight.
