Three minutes a day to know about tennis in the world. Hello fans, today is Tuesday, March 8, 2022, International Women's Day. Here, "House of Tennis" wishes all female compatriots a happy holiday! Live a happy life! Listen to today's afternoon news.
Beijing time this morning, WTA1000 Indian Wells Station women's singles signing table is freshly released. The top four seeds of the tournament are Czech Craigskova, Belarusian Sabalenka, Polish rising star Svatek and Estonian star Kontaveit, while defending champion and Spanish star Bardoza are the fifth seed. The top eight big seeds were: Kregitskova Ka Pliskova, Svatek - Mugurazza, Bardoza - Kontaveit, Sakar - Sa Barenka.
After the signing table was released, fans found that the first round surprised a number of focus duels, among which the contest between the two former US Open champions was particularly interesting, that is, the Japanese star Naomi Osaka against the American Stephens, and the winner between the two will meet the Russian rising star Kudmetova in the first round bye in the second round. The first round of the match between Ukrainian Yastremska and France's Garcia, as well as Croatia's Connew and Frenchman Konette, has also attracted attention.
In the signing table, there are two Chinese players directly shortlisted for the main tournament with the world ranking, and the veteran Zhang Shuai's opponent in the first round is a qualifier, and if he wins, he will play against Tunisia's sister Abdul-Jabbar in the second round. The youngster Zheng Qinwen drew the Russian veteran Zvonareva, and if promoted, he will compete with German star Kerber for a place in the round of 32.
Let's pay attention to the game again. Beijing time last night, the WTA1000 Indian Wells Women's Singles Qualifiers kicked off the first round. The three Chinese players who played that day achieved one win and two losses, except for Wang Qiang, who sent double eggs to wash the American wild card player Rabman, the young players Wang Xinyu and Yuan Yue regrettably lost.
Among them, Wang Xinyu was reversed by the British Bolt 7-6 (8) 4-6 4-6; Yuan Yue lost 2-6 5-7 to Australian player Sharma, and both missed the decisive round.
Let's pay attention to the players again. Last night, Beijing time, Austrian celebrity Tim posted a video through his personal social platform to announce his withdrawal from the upcoming ATP1000 Indian Wells Station and the next two Masters in Miami. "Hello everyone, I want to share with you the latest developments. I've been practicing well over the past few weeks, my wrists are completely fine, and my hands are getting better and better. But I decided to retire from the Indian Wells and Miami Masters and come back to clay season, which was the venue I felt most comfortable with, so I thought it would be the perfect time. ”
Since the suspension of the game with a wrist injury in June last year, Tim has said several times that he will return to the field, from the Abu Dhabi exhibition match at the end of last year, the Australian Open, and then to the two clay races in South America, the result is that every last moment, he has chosen to withdraw, and the reason for the withdrawal is almost always "not fully prepared", which worries fans.
Now, he has retired from the "Sunshine Doubles" and set his return date for the European clay season in April. After a month, will Baby Tim really be able to get back on the field? Some fans invariably drew a question mark.
Finally, let's guess and recognize. The image below is a sketch of a player who is extremely saved by splitting the ball in front of the net. Without prompting, can you recognize who he is?
Guess in the last issue, some golfers gave the correct answer. That's right, the person in the picture is Spanish rising star Alcalas, who has risen rapidly this year. (Source: House of Tennis Author: Maverick)
