"Now the young players have good serves, good forehand, strong bottom line and strong strength. It was a big challenge for the past to play technical or defensive players, whether they could withstand such a fierce attack. ”
"Like Zheng Qinwen, Wang Xinyu, Wang Xiyu, yuan Yue have particularly good physical conditions, their current results are also good, and their fighting is also particularly good..." This is what Zhang Shuai talked about in a recent interview.
Among the small Chinese flowers she mentioned, fans will certainly not be unfamiliar with Wang Xiyu, who was born on March 28, 2001, and celebrated his 21st birthday today.
Earlier this month, the video of Wang Xiyu training with Djokovic in coach Tipsalevich's online school also attracted widespread attention, and netizens lamented "what a dream linkage this is".
Wang Xiyu achieved good results in his youth, winning the championship in 2016 in India GB1, the second place in the United States G1, the doubles championship in Nanjing G1, and the GA doubles championship in Osaka, Japan... Wang Xiyu achieved outstanding results at a very young age.
In the 2018 US Open Junior Tournament, Wang Xiyu reached the women's singles final and eventually defeated French player Brel to win the championship, which is also the first time in the history of Chinese mainland players to win the championship in the Grand Slam Junior Women's Singles Competition.
In fact, in the earlier Wimbledon, Wang Xiyu had already partnered with compatriot Wang Xinyu to sweep Oswewe/McNally, becoming the first Chinese pair in Wimbledon history to win the junior women's doubles championship.
In the following seasons, Wang Xiyu and Wang Xinyu and other small flowers began to play more in the adult arena, and Wang Xiyu entered the Women's Singles Tournament of the Grand Slam in 2019 and the French Open in 2020.
However, her first win in the Women's Singles Tournament of the Grand Slam was still at this year's Australian Open, and Wang Xiyu, who played with a wild card, won the first round of the tournament 7-5 6-3 Kuzmowa, a qualifier with good strength, and finally won her first victory in the Women's Singles Tournament of the Grand Slam.
China Xiaohua, who only had a slightly poor signing, immediately met the fourth seed Kregitkova in the second round, and was eventually eliminated by the opponent 2-6 3-6, missing the women's singles round of 32.
Wang Xiyu's current personal best world ranking has not yet broken through the top 100, and she stopped qualifying in this week's Miami tournament, losing to local player Davis in the second round of the qualifier.
It is worth mentioning that this year in Miami we have seen a young supernova - the Czech teenager Linda Frourvitova, who is the same age as Gauff, has just defeated Azarenka (the latter withdrew from the game when he was behind) to advance to the women's singles round of 16.
This is the first time in Miami's history since 2004 that a 16-year-old has reached the women's singles round of 16.
Standing at the age of 21 in her life, Wang Xiyu's aura of "genius girl" in the past slowly faded after the emergence of younger players, and she is looking forward to her early transformation! (Source: House of Tennis Author: Barbie)
