The 2022 WTA1000 Miami station ended the second round of the women's singles competition, and China's Jinhua Zhang Shuai showed a good state, she swept Costia in two straight sets, and successfully advanced to the women's singles round of 32 in this competition. It is worth mentioning that Zhang Shuai ended the battle in only 53 minutes and only let his opponent get 2 rounds. After reaching the third round of Miami for the second time in her career, Zhang Shuai was particularly excited in an interview, saying that after she lost the game in Indian Wells, she had been holding her heart and was fortunate to seize the opportunity in Miami. For the subsequent competition, Zhang Shuai also hopes that he can take one step at a time to impact the women's singles championship.
In addition to Zhang Shuai, another Chinese Jinhua Wang Qiang has no former domineering spirit and state, and despite the painstaking efforts to break through from the qualifiers, Wang Qiang still failed to create surprises for everyone. Facing the No. 14 seed of the tournament and the black American girl Gauff, Wang Qiang and her opponents lost two sets and regretted to stop in the women's single round of Miami. Coincidentally, Zhang Shuai will play against Gauff in the next round, which is also the first time in their careers that the two have played in a 1000-level event. This competition between Chinese and American women's tennis players has attracted the attention of many fans.
Netizens said that Zhang Shuai and Gao Fu are in good shape, the strength of the two is between Bo Zhong, and this game is a five-to-five situation. This season, Zhang Shuai is still attacking in the women's singles, women's doubles and other events, compared with previous seasons, her performance in the women's singles competition has improved significantly. In the women's singles final in Lyon, she successfully reversed the defeat of Ukraine's Yastremska to win her first singles title of 2022. Although the Chinese women's tennis leader unexpectedly fell in the first round of the game to Indian Wells, Zhang Shuai showed his belief in victory in front of the camera.
The miami race was an important warm-up for Zhang Shuai before the clay season, and if she could get the desired results, it would be of great benefit to her to compete in the French Open. Earlier, at the press conference, when Zhang Shuai was asked about her age and career planning, she said that she had not yet reached the time to say goodbye to fans and the field, and she had won a women's singles championship trophy in the new season. She and her women's doubles partner Stosur have always been eager to win another Grand Slam, so she will continue to play.
With the retirement of Li Na, Chinese women's tennis has lost its former glory, and in the eyes of many people, the remaining players are some "warm boiled frogs" and cannot make substantive breakthroughs. Before, some people would say that it was a physical fitness problem, which made it difficult for the Chinese women's network to compete with the world's top masters. But Li Na won two Grand Slam women's singles titles amid doubts. Some people also think that Chinese players are taller than European and American players, and there is already a world of difference in single serve. Whenever asked about these topics, Zhang Shuai will say that he will work hard to revitalize the glory of the Chinese women's network!
