In the early morning of August 31, Beijing time, there was good news from the US Open, and China's Golden Flower Wang Xinyu and Zhu Lin both defeated their opponents and joined hands to advance to the round of 32. Among them, Wang Xinyu defeated Spain's Tomo with a 2-1 comeback, while Zhu Lin upset the former No.1 Azarenka.
Wang Xinyu, who came out first, fought hard for nearly three hours, losing a set 5-7 in the first set, and won two consecutive sets 6-3, 6-4 to defeat Spain's fierce Tomo (NO.55), who had just won the championship in Cleveland. Wang Xinyu slammed 49 winning points and sent 55 unforced errors in the whole match, which is unbelievable, and the reason is firstly, Wang Xinyu's excessive mistakes, the sluggish state of the first set, and secondly, the opponent's performance does not seem to be in the best condition. After the promotion, Wang Xinyu scored 130 points and 191,000 US dollars (about 1.39 million yuan), ranking No.46 immediately, continuing to set a new career high. The next round opponent is Slovakia's Schmidlova, ranked 115th in the world, and is expected to go further. I have to say that Wang Xinyu's luck is really good!
Zhu Lin, who was generally not favored before the match, defeated the 18th seed Azarenka in two straight sets 6-3 and advanced to the round of 32 of the US Open, avenging the missed round of 8 at this year's Australian Open, and also changed the record of the meeting with the two to 1-1. At the same time, this is also Zhu Lin's sixth victory against the top 20 players. It is also the first time in Zhu's career that she has reached the top 32 of the US Open women's singles and the second time she has reached the round of 32 of a Grand Slam. Zhu Lin's opponent in the next round will be the 15th seed of the tournament, Switzerland's Bencic.
Two games, two wins. The two Chinese girls made a good start to the second round of the US Open for Chinese golfers. I hope that the Chinese legion, which won seven battles in the first round, will continue to work hard and write miracles. At last year's US Open, five Chinese players joined hands to reach the round of 32, setting the best record of the Chinese legion in a Grand Slam. Will it reach new heights this year?
