In addition, four people participated in the qualifying tournament and Zheng Saisai, who retired due to injury.
The performance of the 5 golden flowers in the women's singles is remarkable. Three young men, Zheng Qinwen, Wang Xiyu and Wang Xinyu, all broke through the first round and ushered in their first grand slam career victories. Particularly commendable is Cheng Chin-man, who won four consecutive matches from the qualifiers and won her first major in her first Grand Slam. Wang Xinyu even snatched a set in the match against the world's 2nd Sabalenka.
Two veterans, Zhang Shuai and Wang Qiang, also performed well in the women's singles arena of this Australian Open.

Among them, Zhang Shuai eliminated the 12th seed Laibakina in the second round, Wang Qiang eliminated the American genius girl Gauff in the first round without being optimistic, and Wang Qiang won a set in the third round against Keith and lost out.
In the women's doubles, Zhang Shuai and his old partner Stosur played, and Zhang Shuai and Stosur, who won the US Open doubles last year, stopped in the second round of this year's Australian Open women's doubles. Also stopping in the second round was Han Xinyun, who partnered Adam Sark and lost to top seeds Klechkova/Syniakova in the second round. The women's doubles players who went the furthest were Xu Yipan and Yang Zhaoxuan, who reached the round of sixteen in this Australian Open women's doubles competition.
In the mixed doubles match, Zhang Shuai and Pierce played as the No. 2 seeds, the two broke into the mixed doubles final four, and in the match against the No. 5 seeds Mladenovic and Dodiger, Zhang Shuai and Pierce lost in the first set and missed the first Grand Slam mixed doubles final. Although he did not have the opportunity to impact the final championship, Zhang Shuai's third-line combat performance was already very good.

The Mesozoic generation rejuvenated its second spring and regained its self-confidence through the Australian Open. The veteran remains in good shape and can still compete with the world's high-level players.
