Australian Open Synthesis: Nadal won not easy The two Chinese xiaohua regretted to stop in the second round

At the Australian Open on the 19th, Spain's king Nadal did not expect to encounter a strong opponent just after entering the second round.

On the same day, he played Against Germany's Hanfmann, who ranked outside the top 100 and had never reached the second round of a Grand Slam tournament before. Although Nadal eventually won 6-2, 6-3, 6-4, he bluntly stated after the match that the match was "not at all easy".

"As far as the opponents themselves are concerned, today's challenges are greater (than I thought). He played very well, aggressively attacked, returned the ball vigorously... The first set, in particular, can be said to be the most difficult. Nadal said.

Last year, Nadal ended the season early with a foot injury, and was diagnosed with the new crown virus before the game. So, even though winning the Australian Open means he will complete a double Grand Slam feat and surpass the number of Grand Slam titles in Djokovic and Federer, he still values his health more.

"Of course I want to play a little more aggressively, but the most important thing is to stay healthy. Stay healthy in order to practice and compete. "After so many things, I'm excited to be here to reach the third round." Honestly, I'm not under pressure, my pressure is to stay healthy, to enjoy the reality that I can still play, to play my best. ”

In addition to Nadal, high-ranking seeds such as Zverev, Beretini and Shapovalov also successfully entered the third round. No. 10 seed Hulkac was unexpectedly out of the game after losing to French veteran Mannarino.

Women's singles top seed Barty continued to advance strongly, quickly beating his opponents in two 6-1. Azarenka and Naomi Osaka, who have previously won the Australian Open twice, also successfully advanced.

No. 22 seed Bencic lost to Anisimova, and No. 32 seed Tormo lost to 19-year-old Ukrainian teenager Kostyuk.

Wang Xiyu and Zheng Qinwen, who played in the Australian Open for the first time, both encountered strong opponents on the day, Wang Xiyu lost to No. 4 seed Kregitskova 2:6, 3:6, and Zheng Qinwen lost to No. 5 seed Sakkari 1:6, 4:6, regrettably stopping the second round.

Wang Qiang defeated Belgium's Ujtefank on the same day and will meet American Keith in the third round. In 2018, Wang Qiang lost to Case in the first round.
