Late on the night of April 4, Beijing time, the WTA500 Charleston station began the first round of women's singles competition, China Jinhua suffered a black opening, the first to play Yuan Yue lost 4-6, 2-6 to the world's 215th Ukrainian zavatska. The loss of this game may indicate that china's golden flower will be discounted after the start of the land season.
Yuan Yue is ranked 143rd in the world, because there are many players in front of her who have withdrawn, she was able to enter the main tournament directly and draw a relatively good draw, and the first round opponent was Zavatska, who used the protection ranking to participate in the main competition. The latter has made a handful of appearances on the WTA Tour, mainly in ITF matches, but Yuan Yue, who is not good at earthfield combat, lost to his opponents.
In the first set, after the two sides exchanged insurance in the first three sets, Yuan Yue wasted 3 innings in his second serve and was broken, 1-3. However, she immediately achieved a comeback and chased the score to 3-3 after easily conserving. After the fight to 4-5, Yuan Yue faced two break points and counts of his opponent in his own unavoidable serve, although he saved one, he was still broken, and folded a line of 4-6.
In the second set, Yuan Yue lost 9 points in a row, and after winning 1 point with difficulty, he lost 6 points in a row, and instantly fell behind with a score of 0-3 and a small score of 0-40. At this point, she woke up like a dream, saved 4 break points to save the second set, and chased the score to 1-3. After mutual protection to 2-5, Yuan Yue lost in his own unavoidable serve, conceded another set 2-6, and lost the whole game 0-2.
In this game, which took 1 hour and 24 minutes, Yuan Yue fully exposed the weakness of slow movement and was almost hanged by his opponent. The opponent's serve is very average, only 1 Ace has 4 double errors, but even so, Yuan Yue only broke once, and let the opponent play 81% of the one shot scoring rate. In terms of total points, Yuan Yue fell behind 47-67, losing 20 points!
After Yuan Yue lost the match, Chinese fans began to worry about the prospects of China's Jinhua season in the dirt field, after all, Chinese players are not good at the dirt court , even if there is a precedent for Li Na to win the French Open. Zhang Shuai and Wang Qiang, who have decent mobility, are difficult to achieve good results in the soil field, and those with poor mobility like Wang Xiyu and Yuan Yue will become the sending angels on the soil field.
But China's potential star, Mr. Cheng, may be an exception. The 19-year-old Shiyan girl said she prefers to fight on the dirt because she will have more patience on the dirt field than on the hard ground. Indeed, judging by her performances in the first three months of the season, she was too impatient on the hard ground, blindly pursuing offense and speed, so much so that she lost several games that prevailed.
If she can really maintain patience in the dirt field, slow down the pace of play, and the style of play is still relatively solid, she may really be able to achieve good results in the dirt field season. However, her opponent in the first round in Charleston is 2017 US Open champion Stephens, and it is still very difficult to pass.
As for the other little flower king Xinyu, she and Zheng Qinwen have the fastest speed of ascension, and we can expect her a little. In this Year's Charleston Tournament, she won a relatively good signing position, the first round opponent is Begu, and then it is possible to challenge the recently under-improved No. 14 seed TomJanovic and the No. 12 seed Konai, and it is not easy to break into the quarterfinals.
