In today's dialogue with the second seed Zheng Saisai, Wang Yafan still clearly felt the gap between the two and never found a too good rhythm. In fact, in the women's singles 1/4 final held yesterday, both players lost the first set of the game, after three sets of hard work to reverse the promotion, each with greater physical loss. Wang Yafan in the match against Hong Kong player Zhang Weihuan after a 2 hours and 26 minutes of battle before entering the final four, the high temperature of Xianyang in the game brought Wang Yafan a lot of tests, recalling the first set of the game, Wang Yafan also said that "I was not in a very good state at the beginning, and I applied for a medical suspension after a bit of heat stroke." ”
Even if he lost to Zheng Saisai today and missed the women's singles final, Wang Yafan still helped the Sichuan team create a surprise. The bronze medal in the women's singles was the best result achieved by Chuanjun in the women's singles field of the National Games after Yan Zi in 2009.
Tonight, she will also partner Jiang Xinxuan in the women's doubles final of the National Games, which will be the Beijing-Tianjin joint team Xu Yipan/Yang Zhaoxuan, who represented China at the Tokyo Olympic Games.
