Peng Shuai, together with Li Na, Zheng Jie, Yan Zi and Sun Tiantian, is known as the "five golden flowers" of Chinese tennis, and they have competed in the tennis world for many years and have achieved great achievements. The "Straits Combination" of Peng Shuai and Xie Shuwei has become the collective memory of a generation of tennis fans.
Born in 1986, Peng Shuai studied tennis with Zhang Fan, a famous tennis player in Hunan and also her uncle, at the age of 8, she won the national junior tennis championship at the age of 10 and gradually began to emerge. Her best singles record on international stage was runners-up in Brussels in 2011 and 2013.
Peng Shuai's achievements in doubles are obviously much higher. The "Straits Combination" formed by her and Xie Shuwei once "killed all sides" on the international stage, and the two of them won the Grand Slam doubles championship twice, and the number of times they won the sub-station matches was also many. In February 2014, the "Straits Group" historicly ascended to the throne of women's doubles world number one!
But in 2018, the relationship between the two has become contradictory. Peng Shuai posted after the Dubai Open: "Powerless, sad, depressed... Yes, I had a conflict with Xie Shuwei... The reason is because of the physical trainer. Partner Xie Shuwei immediately responded: "Thank you for snatching the only physical teacher, bye-bye!" ”
A stone stirred up thousands of waves, and under the reports of the outside world, the contradictions between the two of them were infinitely magnified. In the end, the two broke up under Peng Shuai's feeling that "now everything is over, not only the stadium, the friendship of nearly twenty years has stopped here", which is lamentable.
Today, although the 31-year-old Peng Shuai has not officially announced her retirement, she has been away from the field for a long time and is currently in a state of "semi-retirement". In terms of feelings, Peng Shuai was exposed after the 2014 US Open and interacted with an Italian sports industry insider.
