Entering the 2022 season, Wang Qiang's state suddenly recovered, and after reaching the round of 32 at the Australian Open, she reached the top 8 in this week's WTA 250 class guadalajaraja. Although her world ranking has slipped all the way to 144th because of the deduction of 2020 points, she is at the bottom of the top 8 players, but it is clear that she is the favorite to win the championship who has reached the highest ranking to the world's 12th place.
At 4:00 a.m. Beijing time on February 26, Wang Qiang will appear in the quarterfinals against Slovak girl Schmidlova. The 25-year-old Shmidlova rose to fame at a young age and won two WTA titles before the age of 18, but has since been in ups and downs, and is currently ranked only 88th in the world.
Wang Qiang's world ranking is 56 places lower than That of Schmidlova, but she is the more optimistic side in this encounter. Judging from the odds before the game, Wang Qiang is 1-1.67 and Schmidlova is 1-2.20, so it is clear that the possibility of Wang Qiang passing the level is very large.
Once Semydlova passes, Wang Qiang's semi-final opponent will be the winner between No. 3 seeds Tomo and Bauzkova, and it is not surprising that it should be Tomo. Spain's Tomo has performed more eye-catchingly in recent years, frequently playing masterpieces in competitions, and the current world ranking has reached a career high of 32nd. However, Wang Qiang has always had a good winning percentage against Spain, and the win-loss ratio is 7-2, and the Possibility of Chinese beauties passing the level is greater.
Once in the final, Wang Qiang's opponent is likely to be the winner between No. 4 seed Osorio and No. 6 seed Stephens. Colombian post-00 girl Osorio has jumped very fast and has now reached the 45th place in the world, but Wang Qiang is good at "strangling" rookies, so she is still the favored side in this encounter.
Stephens, the 2017 US Open women's singles champion, is Wang Qiang's high-end "maid", the two sides have fought 3 times in the past, and Wang Qiang has not lost a set. Therefore, Wang Qiang's call for the championship of The Guadalajaraja is indeed extremely high.
And once the championship is finally won, Wang Qiang will break the championship drought that has lasted for four years, and the 30-year-old Chinese veteran last won the WTA, back to the 2018 Guangzhou Open. At the same time, she will earn 280 points, and the world ranking will return to the top 100 in the world, with a high probability of falling between 93-95.
In this way, everyone no longer has to worry about Wang Qiang not being able to participate in the main competition of WT level events!
