In the second round of the WTA250 Guadalajara, Wang Qiang defeated Harmony Tan 6-4, 6-2, and reached the quarterfinals of the tour again after nine months.
In the second round of WTA250 Guadalajara, Mexico, China's Golden Flower King Rose fell in two straight sets to easily beat France's Harmony Tan 6-4 and 6-2, which was the second time she reached the women's singles quarterfinals after nine months after The Palma de Mallorca at the end of May last year, and also became the only player among the four Chinese Golden Flowers to reach the women's singles quarterfinals.
After losing to American Keys in the third round of the Australian Open, Wang Qiang rested for more than a month before choosing to return from Guadalajara, and in the first round she easily defeated Davis, an American who ranked nearly 60 places higher than herself, with only three sets lost, and this round she met Harmony Tan, who ranked 40 places higher than herself, who had defeated No. 2 seed Keys in the first round.
However, in this game, Wang Qiang almost did not give the opponent any chance, the whole game she only lost a serve, a shot scoring rate is as high as 79%, especially in the second set, Wang Qiang did not send a break point, it is indeed a very amazing serve performance. Although the current ranking is only 144, he has defeated opponents who are much higher than himself in a sweeping manner, which shows that Wang Qiang's current true level may have returned to the top 50.
In the Parma station before the French Open last year, Wang Qiang reached the women's singles final in one fell swoop after ending a months-long slump, but when facing the momentum of the American post-00s young player Gauff, she finally lost two sets in a row, and then lost to Gauff again in the second round of the French Open. Even after suffering two consecutive defeats against Gauff, it can at least be seen that Wang Qiang at that time has come out of the shadow of consecutive defeats at the beginning of the year, and her cooperation with new coach Cash can be said to have achieved initial results.
However, due to the preparation for the Olympic Games and the National Games in the second half of last year, Wang Qiang missed two Grand Slams, including Wimbledon and the US Open, as well as all WTA competitions, and the signs of his hard recovery came to an abrupt end, and not a single point was scored for seven months, and the year-end ranking also fell out of the top 100. So at the beginning of the 2022 season, Wang Qiang, who has been in the battle for a long time, had to face the problem of state restart again, and the two warm-up matches before the Australian Open were stopped in the first round of the qualifiers.
It is because of the poor warm-up state that many people maintain a pessimistic attitude towards Wang Qiang's Australian Open journey, but Melbourne is indeed Wang Qiang's blessed land, in the first round she defeated Gauff in two sets, revenge for last year's two consecutive defeats of the opponent, the second round defeated Van Uuit Fan, who ranked nearly 50 places higher than herself, after the 2020 Australian Open, once again reached the third round of the Grand Slam, and then lost to the state-breaking Case, who finally reached the women's singles final four.
Therefore, Wang Qiang's recovery has actually begun from the Australian Open, and in this week's Guadalajara station, she continued her good form at the Australian Open, coupled with this good luck, successfully avoided Keys in the second round, after reaching the quarterfinals, it is equivalent to occupying the signing position of the No. 2 seed, and in the next quarter-finals, Wang Qiang's opponent will be between Potapova and Schmidrova.
In addition, due to the overall strength of this game is not strong, and the cold is repeated, in addition to the No. 2 seed Keith, the top seed Raducannu also stopped in the first round, so Wang Qiang has a very good chance to imagine the championship. The other Chinese Jinhua who participated in the competition was not in good shape, Zheng Qinwen and Zhu Lin both stopped in the first round, and Zhu Lin also suffered a wave of five consecutive losses in singles. Although Wang Xinyu passed the first round, she lost to the Russian Karinskaya in three sets in the second round.
