"Big deal to fight ITF!"
Wang Qiang, who chose to return to China to prepare for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics in the 2021 season, fell sharply in her personal world rankings and fell out of the top 100 at the end of last year.
In the face of her serious decline in the world rankings, Wang Qiang herself is very calm, she said that the ranking is only temporary, and if you can't play the WTA game, then start with the ITF event.
Entering the 2022 season, Wang Qiang, who set off in full gear, still reflected her strength as a former TOP15 (on September 9, 2019, Wang Qiang refreshed her personal best world ranking to 12th).
Once a group of domestic Jinhua painstakingly seeking to break through the TOP100 threshold, Wang Qiang only used about six races to hit the top one hundred, let's go together to briefly understand how she played in these several stops.
After the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, Wang Qiang's first competition was this season's Melbourne women's singles qualifier, but she was eliminated by Aeva, who was ranked far below herself in the world rankings.
After that, Wang Qiang played in the Adelaide station as a qualifier, and was eliminated by local player Sanders in the first round, and the two consecutive defeats at the beginning of the 2022 season undoubtedly made the outside world more and more optimistic about Wang Qiang.
Moving to the Australian Open, Wang Qiang, who directly entered the women's singles competition, finally ushered in the victory, facing the American teenager Gauff (she is the 18th seed of this year's Australian Open) in the first round, Wang Qiang fell in two straight sets to win the 2022 season with a score of 6-4 6-2.
After the second round, Wang Qiang defeated Uyvank, and in the third round, facing the American star Case, Wang Qiang fought hard in three sets and finally regretted losing 1-2 to the women's singles round of 16.
After the Australian Open stopped the third round, Wang Qiang participated in the Guadalajara station, this time she beat Davis, Harmony Tan and Schmidlova in a row to reach the final four of the tournament, and finally was defeated by Bazkova in the semi-finals.
Wang Qiang also won more than one victory in Monterrey, beating Garfield and Shaleve in the first two rounds and being defeated by former US Open women's singles runner-up Fernandez in the quarter-finals.
Moving to the North American Sunshine Doubles, Wang Qiang, who could only play from the qualifiers, won two consecutive matches in the Indian Wells Women's Singles Qualifiers to advance to the main tournament, but was eliminated by Bauzkova in the first round.
In this week's Miami event, Wang Qiang, who also started from the qualifiers, continued to win two consecutive promotion matches, she beat wild card Kruger in the just-concluded first round, and Wang Qiang will play against American young player Gauff in the second round.
This is also the fourth time in their careers that the two have played each other, With Gough laughing to the end in two clay encounters last year, and Wang Qiang having the last laugh in the latest hard-fought encounter.
In any case, Wang Qiang has returned to the TOP100 with her performance in the past month or so, and Wang Qiang, who has scored 65 points in Miami, has now reached 95th place in the real-time ranking, and looks forward to her continuing to move forward! (Source: House of Tennis Author: Barbie)
