For Chinese fans, the biggest focus of this week's tour is the competition for the Charleston station of the WTA500 tournament, including Zhang Shuai, Wang Xinyu, Wang Xiyu, Yuan Yue and Zheng Qinwen and other Jinhua have signed up for this tournament.
However, after the first round of matches, only Two players, Zhang Shuai and Zheng Qinwen, passed the first round. It is a pity that these two players also lost to their opponents in their respective second round matches, and unfortunately did not qualify for the following matches.
Zhang Shuai is the current jinhua sister, as the 16th seed of this tournament, Zhang Shuai defeated an American player Di Lorenzo who broke through from the qualifiers in the first round, and ushered in the challenge of American Liu Jingwen in the second round.
In the end, Zhang Shuai missed two sets in the first set, and although he finally saved two match points, he still lost to Liu Jingwen in the women's singles round of 16 with a score of 5-7 6-2 4-6.
It is worth mentioning that this is the third victory of Liu Jingwen's career against top 50 players in her chinese-american life.
Another Jeong Chin-man, who played in the second round, also failed to usher in a victory. Facing Russian player Alexandrova, although China Xiaohua once fired 19 ACE, there were 12 double errors and many unforced errors, and finally withdrew from the game when the score was 6-2 5-7 2-5 (0-30).
Zheng Qinwen's next competition plan is to represent China with several other Jinhua in the Billy Jane Gold Cup competition.
At this point, there are no Chinese players in the women's singles signing table, and the following is the focus of the women's singles 1/8 finals:
[1] Sabalenka vs Anisimova
[L] Van der Wieg vs [6] Pergola
[12] Cornett vs Karenina
Alexandrova vs[3] Ka Pliskova
[9] Keith vs[10] Bencic
Liu Jingwen VS [2] Bardoza
It is not difficult to see from the signing table that Zheng Qinwen lost an opportunity to play against top players. If she is not injured and can defeat Alexandrova, then she will have a showdown with Karp in the third round, hoping that China Xiaohua's injury will not be a big problem.
Women's singles does not have Chinese gold flowers, women's doubles is still somewhat attractive. Zhang Shuai and American player Dolehead formed the number one seed combination in this year's Charleston women's doubles, and the two thrillingly defeated the combination of Kichenok and Rodionova in the first round.
Zhang Shuai has always had a very good popularity in the women's tennis world, which can be seen from the various partners she has changed. After the news that she will play in the women's doubles match with Gauff in Stuttgart this year, many fans are also looking forward to it.
In addition to Zhang Shuai, Xu Yipan and Yang Zhaoxuan also played in the women's doubles competition with their respective partners in this tournament. (Source: House of Tennis Author: Barbie)
