From January 14 to 28, 2024, Beijing time, the 2024 Australian Open Tennis Championships and the 112th Australian Open Tennis Championships will be held at Melbourne Park, Australia. The tournament began on Sunday and was the first 15-day event in the history of the Australian Open. A total of 7 people from China Jinhua were shortlisted for the main competition, Zheng Qinwen, Wang Xinyu, Zhu Lin, Wang Xiyu, Yuan Yue, Bai Zhuoxuan, and Wang Yafan were shortlisted. Among them, Zheng Qinwen is the No. 12 seed, Zhu Lin is the No. 29 seed, Wang Xinyu is the No. 30 seed, and China will have three Grand Slam seeds at the Australian Open, which has not happened for a long time since the end of the Li Na era. According to the draw, Zheng Qinwen is expected to advance to the top 4 of the first Grand Slam.
Zheng Qinwen's No. 12 seed at the Australian Open is the highest seed in a Grand Slam
The latest world rankings were released, many Chinese golden flowers improved their rankings, Zheng Qinwen refreshed his highest personal ranking to No.13, and Yuan Yue also set a new high. There are a total of seven golden flowers in the TOP100 this week, and they will all play in the 2024 Australian Open 2024 main draw. No.13 Zheng Qinwen, No.33 Zhu Lin, No.34 Wang Xinyu, No.62 Wang Xiyu, No.73 Yuan Yue, No.87 Bai Zhuoxuan, No.97 Wang Yafan.
According to the women's singles seed list released at the 2024 Australian Open, the top 16 seeds are 1. Swiatek 2. Sabalenka3. Rybakina 4. Gauff 5. Pegula 6. Abdul-Jabbar 7. Vondrousova 8. Sakkari 9. Krecikova10. Maya 11. Ostapenko 12. Zheng Qinwen13. Samsonova 14. Kasatkina 15. Kudermetova 16. Garcia. According to the draw, players seeded between 9 and 12 will face players seeded 5 to 8 in the 1/8 finals.
Wang Yafan was the last to be shortlisted for the main competition
China's first sister Zheng Qinwen has a head-to-head record with the top eight seeds of the Australian Open, Swiatek 0-5, Sabalenka 0-1, Rybakina 0-2, Gauff Wu, Pegula 0-1, Jabbar 2-0, Vondrousova 1-0, Sakkari 1-2. It can be seen that if Zheng Qinwen can successfully enter the 1/8 finals and face the 5-8 seeds, Jabbar and Vondrousova are the best choices, and Zheng Qinwen defeated Abdul-Jabbar in straight sets at the US Open and advanced to the top 8 of the Grand Slam for the first time. Of course, Pegula and Sakkari, with Zheng Qinwen's current form, it is not impossible to win.
Zhu Lin is the No. 29 seed at the Australian Open
If Zheng Qinwen successfully enters the top 8, the opponent in the quarterfinals is likely to be one of the top 4 seeds, except for the lack of a record against Gauff, the record against the top 3 seeds has no wins. But the editor believes that as long as he doesn't meet the world No. 1 Swiatek with a 0-5 loss, Zheng Qinwen has a chance to make history.
Wang Xinyu is the No. 30 seed at the Australian Open
On January 11, Beijing time, the singles main draw will be held, and we hope that China's 7 golden flowers will have good luck. However, the Grand Slam has always been a hotbed of unpopularity, and what China Jinhua has to do is to focus on me, be down-to-earth, and constantly break through themselves, and wish Jinhua excellent results in the Australian Open. The 2024 season is exactly 10 years before Li Na won the championship in 2014.
