Since the end of this year's Australian Open, everyone's attention to the tennis world seems to have fallen into a small low tide, of course, the Winter Olympics have naturally attracted the attention of more sports fans.
With the Second Grand Slam tournament of the season, the French Open, still just over two months away (the 2022 French Open starts on May 23), what other events are fans looking forward to in the near future?
Of course, it is the North American Sunshine Doubles in March, and every March in Indian Wells, Southern California, on the West Coast of the United States, and Miami, Florida on the East Coast, each have a WTA1000 class event.
At present, the main list of Indian Wells has been announced, led by three-time Grand Slam winner Barty, and last year's women's singles champion Bardoza will also face a journey to defend his title.
On the Chinese side, only Zhang Shuai was directly shortlisted for the main tournament by virtue of his ranking, and the shortlist ended with Brell, who ranked No.77, and the specific event was scheduled to be held from March 7 to 20.
Recently, the organizing committee of the event also announced a regular wild card ownership, four-time Grand Slam champion and former champion Naomi Osaka This precious wild card.
I believe that many people will be surprised, Japan's Naomi Osaka actually failed to directly enter, in fact, the current world ranking of Naomi Osaka has slipped to 82nd, since the third round of the Australian Open lost to Anisimova she hung up the free card.
Born in 1997 in Osaka, Japan, Naomi Osaka's name began to become known to more fans in the 2016 season, when she reached the third round at the Australian Open, French Open and US Open.
Of course, the Japanese rising star ushered in the outbreak season in 2018, and it was in Indian Wells that she won the world's attention.
At that time, Naomi Osaka defeated Sharapova, A. Radwanska, Ka Pliskova and Halep as a non-seeded player to advance to the women's singles final, and finally defeated Kasakina to win the championship.
Such a promotion trip can be described as convincing, the first championship of her career, the crown level, and Naomi Osaka's starting point is still quite high.
Also in 2018, Naomi Osaka won the first trophy in the US Open, the last Grand Slam tournament of the season, becoming the first Grand Slam women's singles champion in Japanese history.
After the development of Naomi Osaka, I believe that many fans are familiar with it, and the recently controversial and in-form Japanese star won a regular wild card in the tournament where she won the championship four years ago, so can she regain her strength this time and usher in the climb of her career again?
