On January 20, Beijing time, the Australian Open broke out the biggest cold since the opening! Muguruza, the No. 3 seed in the women's singles tournament, faced france's 61st in the world, Coney, and was eliminated 3-6 3-6! Muguruza also became the highest seeded player to get out since the start of the tournament. Earlier, women's singles No. 6 seed Contavit also lost 0-2 to Toson and was eliminated.
Mugurazza, from Spain, is currently ranked No. 3 in the world and has won two Grand Slam titles at the French Open and Wimbledon in his career. But she also faced Kone this time, also quite strong, the two sides in the first four encounters to win 2. In the first set of the campaign, Coné broke early in the second set and took advantage of the first start to take a 5-2 lead. Although Muguruza saved two sets in the 8th set to save serve, Koone won the set in the 9th set and won the first set 6-3.
In the second set, the two sides held their own serves in the first 4 sets. In the 5th set, Coné seized the opportunity to complete the break first. The two then saved serves and Corner took the lead to a 5-3 lead. In the 9th set, Muguruza failed to withstand the pressure, lost 4 consecutive points and was broken, and finally lost another set 3-6, 0-2, becoming the biggest seed out of the women's singles game. Konai also cheered and was very excited.
In another match that ended earlier, No. 6 seed Kontawirt lost 2-6 4-6 when he faced Denmark's Towson, who was ranked 39th in the world. She also became the first TOP10 seeded player to get out of the women's singles, although this came later than other Grand Slams, but it came after all.
As a result, two of the women's singles TOP10 seeded players have been eliminated. As the tournament progresses, more seeds will certainly be eliminated in the women's singles arena.
