Recently, ATP and WTA updated their calendars for the second half of this year. ATP announced the full schedule plan for this year, in which the Chengdu, Zhuhai, China Net, and Shanghai Masters of the Chinese season are all listed, and it is not known whether China is likely to try to resume international tennis events after successfully hosting the Winter Olympics after withstanding the pressure of the epidemic. The schedule for the WTA is currently only updated to the US Open.
Last week, Nadal won the title with two 6-4 wins over Nori Hao in the ATP500 Acapulco final, and he beat New Star World No. 1 Medvedev in the semi-finals after two 6-3 Australian Opens, which was almost his most perfect season start in recent years.
After the back-to-back sunshine doubles in North America, the clay season and the French Open that Nadal is best at, people can't help but have a little more expectation. Nadal's strong performance also seems to inspire his fans, with No. 2 seed Rublev winning the championship in the final of the ATP500 Dubai 6-3, 6-4 victory over Djokovic killer Viselli and idol Nadal.
In the final of the WTA1000 Doha leg, Swataker swept Kontaveit 6-2, 6-0, and three of the four career champions were in the same week as Nadal. Of course, we also found that Swatak seems to be slowly becoming more competitive on the hard ground, and after winning the Grand Slam, her overall state is relatively stable, and there has been no "Grand Slam syndrome" with big ups and downs.
Martinez, who defeated Shangcheng in the first round of Rio last week, moved to at the ATP250 Santiago to reach the final and beat Bayes 4-6, 6-4, 6-4 to win his first career title. Of course, Shang Juncheng also performed well last week, as he reached the final in the ITF M15 Napoli battle and won the title, which was the fourth ITF title of his career.
At WTA250 Guadalajara, No. 6 seed Stephens defeated Butzkova 7-6, 1-6, 6-2 to win the title, while Butzkova defeated Wang Qiang 6-2, 6-3 in the semi-finals. In addition, the Zhu Lin/Wang Xinyu combination won the women's doubles runner-up in this competition.
