Zhang Shuai won the first victory and Halep ended the losing streak
2-6 1-6 loss to Azarenka in the first round of 2019, defeated Pavlyutchenkova in three sets in the first round of 2020, swept by Brady in the first round of 2021 1-6, 4-6... The Chinese Golden Flower Zhang Shuai always seemed to have some bad luck in Rome.
Due to the low world ranking, she can not be seeded, she always met the strong hand early in the first round, and zhang Shuai's opponent in the first round of Rome this year is the former French Open women's singles quarterfinalist Trevisan.
It was clear that Zhang Shuai was eager to end her losing streak at Roma with a win, and in the end she advanced to the second round of Rome with a score of 6-4, 6-2, and Zhang Shuai's opponent in the next round was Belarusian Sabalenka, who enjoyed the first round of bye as the No. 3 seed of the tournament.
Also ending the losing streak was Halep, who eliminated Cornett 2-0 and ended her three-game losing streak to avenge the loss at this year's Australian Open.
At present, the first round of the tournament has not yet been completed, and the seeded players who have been out of the signing table are only the 14th seed Pavlyuchenkova, and the Russian, as the runner-up in women's singles of last year's French Open, has performed in a fair manner recently.
In addition, Kerber lost 1-6, 4-6 to Gauff, Keith lost 4-6 to Karenina, Mukhova lost 1-2 to Maltic, these famous players ended the women's singles title competition in Rome early.

Compared with the women's competition, this year's Rome Masters seem to be more star-studded, in addition to djokovic, Nadal and other big seeded players, Wawrinka, Thiem, two players who have recently returned, have also signed up for the tournament.
In the case of the first set failure, Wawrinka reversed in two consecutive sets, and finally eliminated the 14th seed Opelka with a score of 3-6 7-5 6-2.
It is worth mentioning that this hard-won victory is the first victory of veteran Wawrinka in 456 days!
Wawrinka's second-round opponent is qualifier Jerry, who beat Ciurić in the first round to reach the men's singles round of 32 of this year's Rome Masters.
In contrast, another player who has recently returned, Tim, is slightly "bad", and his first-round opponent is local darling Fognini, and in the end, Thiem was defeated by his opponent in two straight sets.
Austria's star has no choice but to swallow his fifth consecutive defeat since his comeback, which should be the ninth consecutive defeat on the Tour since Rome last year...
