"Jinhua" Wang Qiang advanced to the women's singles round of 32

Yesterday, in the second round of the 2022 Australian Open women's singles competition, "Jinhua" Wang Qiang, in the case of losing a set first, reversed the elimination of Belgian player Van Ujtfank 2-1 (2-6, 7-6, 6-3), and entered the Australian Open women's singles round of 32 after 2019 and 2020.

This season, Wang Qiang's performance in the warm-up match before the Australian Open was not ideal. She confessed that she hadn't won much in the past 5 months, and she felt very unhappy after losing the first two games at the beginning of the season, and once doubted herself. But after defeating American Gauff in the first round of the Australian Open, Wang Qiang reacquainted herself. In the first set of the second round against Van Ujtfank, Wang Qiang was at a disadvantage in both the serve and the bottom line confrontation, losing a set 2-6. In the second set, Wang Qiang once got into a stalemate with her opponent, but she did not have a soft hand at the critical moment and won back a city by "grabbing seven". In the decider, Wang Qiang's competitive status improved significantly, locking up the victory of the whole game 6-3 and raising his WTA real-time world ranking to 118th.

As the cooperation with coach Pat Cash became more and more tacit, Wang Qiang was gradually able to play the line required by the coach on the field. 'My serve has changed in the new season and the coach wants me to use my forehand as a weapon, play another backslash and score more points. Wang Qiang said.

In the second round of the women's singles competition, China's Wang Xiyu lost to last year's French Open women's singles champion Kregitskova 0-2 (2-6, 3-6), and Zheng Qinwen lost 0-2 (1-6, 4-6) to Greek Sakari, both of which missed the round of 32.

In the first round of the women's doubles, "Jinhua" Xu Yipan and Yang Zhaoxuan eliminated Kenning/Putinseva 2-1 (7-5, 4-6, 6-1), and another "Jinhua" Zhang Shuai and his old partner, Australian star Stosur also eliminated Kato Weiwei/Santa Maria 2-1, and the two pairs advanced to the second round together.
