Beijing time last night, the 2022 Australian Open season ended the eleventh matchday competition. In the women's singles field, the world's number one and local star Barty continued to win in the first semi-final, sweeping the American Keys 6-1, 6-3 and easily advancing to the final. In the first six rounds, Barty won two sets to advance, only lost 21 sets in six games, and sent two duck eggs, six fritters, plus two roast geese, and was in amazing condition. This is the first time in Barty's career that he has reached the final in Melbourne and the third time he has reached a Grand Slam final.
In the second women's singles semifinal, Polish rising star Svatek failed to extend the victory, and was swept by the American Collins 6-4, 6-1, and missed the final. Collins, on the other hand, reached the women's singles final at a Grand Slam for the first time in his career and will compete with Barty for the final title.
In the women's doubles, the top seed, the Czech duo of Kregitkova / Snyakova, is in hot form, 6-2, 6-3 to beat the cross-border combination of Russian Kudmetova and Belgian Mertens to advance to the Australian Open final for the second consecutive year, and the two will attack the fourth Grand Slam women's doubles title since the pairing. Their final opponents were a cross-country duo of Kazakh Danilina and Brazilian Maya, who scored two straight sets with the Japanese duo of Shuko Aoyama/Eiji Shibahara.
In the two semi-finals of the men's doubles on the same day, two pairs of non-seeded players in Australia both won the final of the division, and won the men's doubles championship and runner-up of the Australian Open in advance. Among them, Kyrgios/Kokinakis defeated The No. 3 seedEd Granolas/Zebaros 7-6 (4)/6-4, and Ebden/Püssel eliminated The No. 2 seed, former tournament champion Ram Salisbury, 6-3, 7-6 (9).
At 9:00 a.m. Beijing time this morning, the Australian Open began its twelfth matchday. In the mixed doubles final that took the lead, Mladenovic/Dodiger played well, winning two sets 6-3, 6-4 to beat Fries/Kübler and lift the championship trophy.
The men's singles first semi-final will kick off at 11:30 a.m. Beijing time against Spanish god of war Nadal and Italian rising star Berrettini. Greece's Tsitsipas and Russia's Medvedev's second semi-final will take place at around 4:30 p.m. Beijing time. Which two players will win the division final in the semi-finals? You might as well predict it.
Finally, let's guess and recognize. The picture below is a group photo of the three players when they were teenagers. Both of them now have a place on the tour. Can you recognize who they are?
In the last issue of guessing, many golfers gave the correct answer. That's right, the person in the picture is the American Anisimova who reversed defending champion Naomi Osaka 2-1 in the third round of this Australian Open. (Source: House of Tennis Author: Maverick)
