Chinese tennis has been on the road ahead, and since entering the 2022 season, the progress has been obvious to all.
For a long time, the fact that Chinese tennis women are stronger than men has been maintained, but this season, the Chinese men's tennis team has also made great progress.
The male tennis players with Wu Yiyu, Zhang Zhizhen and Shang Juncheng as the main force are improving step by step, and the future can be expected.
However, the men's tennis team still needs to keep up with the pace of the women's tennis, because there is another Chinese golden flower to bring an inspiring victory for domestic fans.
WTA250 Washington, D.C., a focus game between China Xiaohua, Wang Xiyu, who has the title of "Wang Zuo", and former world women's singles number one and two-time Grand Slam winner Azarenka.
Coming to the Washington Arena, although he failed to pass the test of the qualifying tiebreaker, Xiaohua Wang Xiyu was still able to enter the main tournament as a lucky loser.
In the first round of the main tournament, Xiaohua beat maria, the German sharpshooter and finalist of Wimbledon this year, and won the opening red;
In the second round, Wang Xiyu continued to work hard, and under the unfavorable situation of losing one set first and falling behind 2:4 in the second set, he staged a wonderful reversal moment, successfully eliminated Wikichi, and entered the tour singles quarterfinals for the fourth time in his career.
Coming to the quarter-final stage, Xiaohua's test was further enhanced.
Opposite Wang Xiyu is the former world's first and two-time Grand Slam winner, Belarus' Azarenka.
Although it is no longer at its peak, Azarenka is still ranked 20th in the world rankings, not only strong, but also extremely experienced, this time to Washington, D.C., as the No. 4 seed.
Although the opponent is strong, for Wang Xiyu, Azarenka is not invulnerable.
Unlike China Xiaohua's early promotion to wait for work, the No. 4 seed reached the quarterfinals and was only in the quarterfinals after experiencing a rainy attack, which is already a veteran Baoma player, and the physical problem is Wang Xiyu's biggest breakthrough.
Sure enough, as soon as the first set came up, Wang Xiyu launched a series of attacks on the opponent's serve.
After saving her first serve, Xiaohua caused trouble in the No. 4 seed serve in a row, broke twice, and made a fantastic start of 4:0 in the set.
Soon, the first set was only 35 minutes long, and Wang Xiyu broke all three of Azarenka's serves, although he also lost a serve, but it did not hinder the 6:1 victory.
In the second set, the Chinese golden flowers in hand became more and more courageous, and the opening was once again strong to break.
The ensuing match was fully under Wang Xiyu's control, and Xiaohua broke the belt and quickly changed the score to a 5:1 far away lead.
In the 8th set, China Xiaohua, who entered the serve game to win the game, was slightly nervous, and under the huge pressure of victory, she was seized by the No. 4 seed to break the game by dropping four straight points;
However, Wang Xiyu, who started again, did not continue to be bound by psychological pressure, and had a huge inning advantage, allowing Xiaohua to launch another round of attack on the world's first unavoidable serve.
In the end, Xi Yu, the Chinese Golden Flower King who resisted the pressure, successfully broke three times in the opponent's serve and won another set with a score of 6:3, thus upsetting the opponent in two sets and reaching the semi-finals strongly.
After two sets of competition in this game, Xiaohua Wang Xiyu played well in the case of the opponent's lack of physical fitness and minor injuries, and successfully eliminated the opponent.
This is the second time in Wang Xiyu's career that she has reached the semi-finals of the Tour, and after successfully reaching the final four, Xiaohua will receive 122 promotion points, and the real ranking will also come to a new career high of 76th, and lock in a ticket to next year's Australian Open regular tournament.
Exploding two-time Grand Slam champions, washington is above the field, and Chinese golden flowers continue to bloom!
