When the post-00s Jinhua Wang Xiyu reached the final of the ITF Challenge for the third time, many people thought that she had already won two runners-up before, and this time it was time to win the championship. Unexpectedly, this time Wang Xiyu still failed to go any further, and he was the runner-up for the third time!
This achievement is not only dissatisfied with her netizens, I believe that Wang Xiyu herself should be difficult to accept. Because, as long as she wins the championship, then her world ranking will enter the top 100. Unfortunately, fate would really joke with this girl and directly block her out of the world's hundreds.
At present, Wang Xiyu's world ranking is at 109th, and she is only one step away from her heart-set goal of scoring the top 100.
As a post-00 Chinese golden flower, 21-year-old Wang Xiyu, who was holding the title of 2018 youth US Open champion, has been known as a talented girl since she switched from a teenager to an adult tennis world, and has been placed high hopes by the Chinese people as Li Na's successor.
There was another girl named Wang Xinyu who debuted with her, who had already successfully entered the top 100 in the world, but Wang Xiyu's world ranking was still hovering outside the top 100. In this case, there is no need to think about how unwilling Wang Xiyu's heart is.
What makes Wang Xiyu even more speechless is that even Zheng Qinwen, who debuted later than her, has now ranked within the top 100 in the world, far surpassing her.
Peer Wang Xinyu surpassed herself, and the young Zheng Qinwen also jumped ahead of her, facing this situation, once made Wang Xiyu's pressure increase, so that she would rather give up the wild card of the high-level tournament qualification tournament, but also hope to win the championship in the low-level competition and achieve her goal of becoming the world's top 100 players.
Wang Xiyu, who is now in a difficult situation, should really look up to Zheng Qinwen and learn how she has made great progress!
Zheng Qinwen, 19, was still ranked 630th in the world in August 2020, when Wang Xiyu's world ranking was enough to dump her several streets.
With the adjustment of Zheng Qinwen's participation strategy in the 2022 season, her world ranking has also risen rapidly, and in just 20 months, Zheng Qinwen's world ranking has jumped to the current 72nd place, and the speed is staggering.
Cheng Qinwen was able to achieve such a large improvement because she shifted her energy from the low-level challenge to the WTA Tour.
Although Zheng Qinwen's grades were not good at the beginning, this did not prevent her from getting points as well.
In Zheng Qinwen's own words, even if you can't get good results for the time being, playing with girls who rank higher than yourself can at least enrich your experience in the competition and believe that you can defeat them one day.
Sure enough, in the first round of the women's singles competition of the WTA500 Charleston Open, facing former US Open champion Stevens, Zheng Qinwen finally achieved a breakthrough and eliminated the Grand Slam champion in three sets.
After the victory, Zheng Qinwen could not hide her joy, bluntly saying that it was the best game she had played so far. The first victory over the world's top 50 players has also greatly enhanced Zheng Qinwen's confidence. It is precisely because of the most important victory of this career that Zheng Qinwen's world ranking has reached 72nd, followed by Zhang Shuai, becoming the second sister of China's Jinhua.
After moving to the clay season, she was able to fight in three sets with the clay master and Czech fierce woman Mukhova, which also made people see her strength on the clay.
According to the current progress of Zheng Qinwen, I believe that she will soon be able to replace Zhang Shuai and become the new Chinese Jinhua sister.
At present, for Wang Xiyu, when she chooses to seek a championship in the low-level challenge, hoping to make a major breakthrough, and when it is delayed, it is really time to summarize and think about whether she should change her participation strategy like Zheng Qinwen and shift her energy from the low-level challenge to the WTA Tour, maybe there will be new and bigger surprises.
After all, a professional player always has to face many masters of the WTA. Since sooner or later we have to fight, it is better to be early and accumulate experience for ourselves.
In the past, Zheng Qinwen and Zhang Shuai, they played low-level challenges, stemming from a certain period of time, their confidence and state were not at their best, hoping to participate in the challenge to win the championship, to boost their morale, and to catch some points.
In contrast, now Wang Xiyu, she wants to win the championship in the challenge is very difficult, if she continues to lose like this, it is really worrying whether she will lose her confidence.
Whether to make some kind of change and shorten the gap with his teammates as soon as possible, Wang Xiyu seems to really want to think about it! (Source: House of Tennis Author: Starry Sky of The Moon River)
