In the second round of the Australian Open qualifying tournament on January 11, Beijing time, the two Chinese golden flowers Ma Yexin and Wei Sijia, who participated in a Grand Slam tournament for the first time, ushered in their respective challenges. This bout was not only a test of the technical and mental endurance of the two young players, but also an important experience in their careers.
Ma Yexin's competition was full of intensity and tension. Her opponent is last year's Australian Open junior champion Kerneva, a young opponent with outstanding strength and experience. In the first set, Ma Yexin and Koneva had a break battle. Under this high-intensity competition, Ma Yexin won the first set with a score of 7-5 with one more break.
However, the situation changed in the second set. Each player put pressure on the opponent's serve and broke each other. Especially in the 10th game, Ma Yexin was broken at a critical moment and lost the second set with a score of 4-6. In the deciding set, although Ma Yexin broke serve in the ninth game, she then missed two match points in the service game, and finally lost to her opponent with a score of 3-10 in the tie-break, missing the qualifying tiebreaker.
Compared with Ma Yexin's hard-fought battle, another Chinese player, Wei Sijia, appeared to be more lucky. She received a notice of her opponent's retirement before the match, so she advanced to the decisive round without a fight. Such a result undoubtedly provides great convenience for Wei Sijia on the way to the main draw of the Australian Open.
Among the four Chinese players who participated in the Australian Open qualifiers, only the post-00 teenager Wei Sijia is still competing. She will face the winner between Frudertova and Gibson in the next decider. For Wei Sijia, this is not only an opportunity to move towards the main draw of the Australian Open, but also a platform to exercise and show herself.
Overall, this Australian Open qualifier is not only a technical test for rising Chinese stars such as Ma Yexin and Wei Sijia, but also a test of their psychological endurance. Although Ma Yexin is unfortunately out of the competition, her fighting spirit and skills in the competition are still worthy of recognition. Wei Sijia, on the other hand, is on the threshold of entering the main draw of the Australian Open, and looks forward to her continuing to perform well in the next matches. For Chinese tennis, the performance of these two young players is undoubtedly the hope for future development.
