2 seeds overturned, Wang Xinyu ran with him, the US Open champion was out, and the NO.5 risk 1 round
The Australian Open kicks off in 2024, however, the first day of the tournament set off a surprising upset, with the two big seeds overturning in the first round. 13th seed Samsonova of Russia and 30th seed Xinyu of China fell victim to the upset, while former US Open champion Cilic was also eliminated on his comeback debut.
On the first day of the Australian Open, Samsonova faced Anisimova, who is ranked only 339th in the world, but lost unexpectedly. In the first set, Samsonova broke first and seemed to have an advantage, but in the subsequent game, she was reversed by her opponent 3-6 and played unfavorably. In the second set, she failed to take advantage of the victory to chase down, but suffered a counterattack with a score of 1-6, and finally went out 0-2. This is the fourth consecutive year that Samsonova has lost in the first round of the Australian Open, and people can't help but feel sorry for her.
As the first Australian Open seeded player of China, Wang Xinyu of China, has not been lucky. In the fierce clash with Parry, Wang Xinyu played three sets, and finally lost to her opponent 1-2 and unexpectedly stopped in the first round. It was an unexpected match, as Wang Xinyu had excelled in the rise of Chinese tennis, but suffered a setback at the Grand Slam.
In contrast, former US Open champion Cilic's comeback debut was not satisfactory. After a year and a half of playing in the Grand Slam, he lost to the world No. 65 Mao Luoran in the first round of the matchup, losing to his opponent with an aggregate score of 1-3, and the road to comeback was quite bumpy. This match also became Mao Luoran's first victory at the Australian Open, giving his opponent his first Australian Open victory and also frustrating Cilic's comeback.
Another high-profile seed, world No. 5 Rublev, came close to being the top seed in the first round and will be eliminated. Against Brazil's Wilder, Rublev won 7-5, 6-4 in a row and looked set for an easy victory. However, Wild fought back stubbornly in the deciding set, and Rublev was almost pushed to the brink of the first round. In the end, he rose to the top 10 and won six points in a row from 4-6 down to avoid an early elimination of the Australian Open.
The French Open champion lost 1-2, the Australian Open got off to a black start, and China's Jinhua suffered 2 consecutive defeats!
The Australian Open kicked off on January 14, 2024, and the women's singles competition continued to attract a lot of attention. However, China's Golden Flower Wang Xinyu and Bai Zhuoxuan suffered unsatisfactory results in the first round.
Wang Xinyu, the No. 30 seed and high hope, faced France's Parry in the first round of this year's Australian Open. The first set duel between the two sides was extremely intense, Parry took the lead in the second game, but Wang Xinyu quickly broke back, and suddenly lost his form after the battle reached 3 draws, Parry took advantage of the situation to break and re-guarantee, and even blasted a perfect love game in the 9th game, winning 6-3. In the second set, Wang Xinyu fought back strongly, broke serve 3 times in a row, and quickly equalized 6-2. In the break battle in the deciding set, Wang Xinyu collapsed after fighting to 3 draws, losing 3 games in a row and finally losing 3-6, ending the women's singles journey at the Australian Open. This match became Wang Xinyu's black start to this Australian Open, which is regrettable.
Another Chinese golden flower, Bai Zhuoxuan, faced the Russian player Avanie, ranked 87th in the world, in a match that ended earlier. Bai Zhuoxuan's performance in the first game was eye-catching, and after hitting 4 draws, he broke and re-protected, and narrowly won 6-4. However, Avanne then fought back and returned the second set 7-5, and the deciding set sealed the victory 3-0 from the beginning, and finally won 6-2. Bai's two-game losing streak came as a surprise and disappointment, with the Chinese golden's performance at the Australian Open falling far short of expectations.
Wang Xinyu and Bai Zhuoxuan represent the new generation of Chinese women's tennis and have been placed on a lot of expectations. Wang Xinyu made history by partnering with Xie Shuwei at the French Open last year, winning the women's doubles title and being hailed as China's Sarawa. However, as a first-time Australian Open seeded player, she faced a disadvantageous situation in the first round. Although Bai Zhuoxuan performed well in the first fight, the result of two consecutive defeats was a surprise. It's also a reminder that on the big stage of the Australian Open, players need to be at their best and face every challenge they can take.
