On January 17, 2022, Beijing time, the first day of the Australian Open main tournament broke out 4 major cold spots in succession. In the men's singles, the 30th seed Harris was the first seeded player to get out, followed by the 12th seed Nori who suffered a round trip. In the women's singles field, China's Jinhua has created surprises one after another, and young player Zheng Qinwen eliminated the famous Sasnovic to win the Australian Open for the first time. Wang Qiang got out of the slump and eliminated American Gauff 2-0. Another Young Chinese player, Wang Xiyu, also passed the first round, with China Jinhua winning three consecutive victories
In the men's singles field, Djokovic did not qualify for the competition, and Nadal became a favorite player, he defeated the United States' Geelong 6-1, 6-4, 6-2 to achieve his 70th win at the Australian Open and easily advanced to the second round. No. 7 seeds Berrettini, Kachanov, Garin, Monfils, Shapovalov, Alcaraz, Manarino, Busta, Bublick and other famous players all passed the first round.
The first round of men's singles broke out two big colds, the first is the local player Wu Jiqi who played with a wild card to defeat the 30th seed Harris 4-6, 6-3, 7-5, 7-6 to win the first grand slam of his career, and Harris became the first male singles seed to be out of the Australian Open.
Then, the 12th seed Nori lost 3-6, 0-6, 4-6 to the former junior champion Koda, which can also be seen from the score, which is a complete defeat, and Nori also became the first player in the world ranking top 30 of the tournament. Koda and Alcaraz are rising stars in the men's singles arena, and they are showing their talents and are expected to create more surprises at this Australian Open.
In the women's singles, high-seeded players such as Svitolina, Sakkari and Naomi Osaka successfully passed the first round, while No. 9 seed Jabbar withdrew due to injury. The Chinese Jinhua that played on the first day of the battle successively created surprises, which can be said to be a state of downturn. The first to appear, Zheng Qinwen, eliminated the famous Sassnovic 2-1 to win the Australian Open for the first time, and she will challenge no. 5 seed Sakari in the second round.
Wang Qiang, who fell out of the top 100, played a particularly eye-catching role, facing the American rising star Gao Fu, Wang Qiang comprehensively suppressed the opponent at both ends of the attack and defense, swept the 18th seed Gao Fu 6-4, 6-2, and won the first victory in three meetings between the two sides. Judging from the world ranking of the two, this is of course also unpopular. Wang Qiang has once again advanced to the second round of the Australian Open after two years, and it is also the first time that she beat the top 20 players in the world rankings after defeating Serena Williams at the Australian Open two years ago. The winning Wang Rose will face Uitfank in the next round.
Then, the youngster Wang Xiyu eliminated Kuzmova 7-5, 6-5, after the opening, Wang Xiyu was once 0-3 behind, but she completed the reversal, and then became more courageous, winning the first Grand Slam regular match, and the next round against the winner between Kregitskova and Petkovic. Unfortunately, another Chinese Jinhua Zheng Saisai retired due to injury, and her position was replaced by a Japanese player.
