However, in the Berlin tournament after the French Open, Wang Xinyu temporarily withdrew due to an arm injury, and has not participated since then, and the training is not systematic. In order to participate in Wimbledon, she had to be treated conservatively, and even withdrew early from the doubles competition for the sake of insurance policy. This also means that she, who has already found a feeling in doubles, will not win consecutive Grand Slam titles in advance.
In the first set, Hunter served first. At the beginning of the match, the two broke serve once. Thereafter, the two parties guarantee each other. Hunter took a 3-2 lead at one point.

In an interview after the match, Wang Xinyu concluded: "In addition to experience, (I) have been improving my understanding of tennis, and I can read the opponent's weaknesses faster and faster on the court, what score should be played, or what the opponent will probably return to play this line." This remark is enough to see the great progress Wang Xinyu has made.
In the next round, Wang Xinyu will face former Australian Open champion Kenning, can she still move forward?
