WTA1000 Doha last night and this morning, the No. 2 seed Gauff, the No. 4 seed Abdul-Jabbar, and the No. 7 seed Sakkari went out together, which is really a bit of a "spring cold" feeling!
Among them, the world's No. 6 Abdul-Jabbar "round tour" is another major good news for Zheng Qinwen to improve his ranking!
After the exit, Abdul-Jabbar's points stayed at 4,183 points, while Zheng Qinwen's was 3,885 points, a difference of only 298 points. But even if he scored 270 points in the top 4, Zheng Qinwen still stood still and ranked 7th in the world. Of course, if Zheng Qinwen can reach the final in one go, she will be able to complete the overtake and reach a career-high world No. 6!
The task is tough, which means she has to beat the potential Rybakina at least in the semi-finals, which seems like an impossible task!
Abdul-Jabbar 3-6, 2-6 Tsurenko
I thought Abdul-Jabbar would lose, but I didn't expect to lose so crisply!
In the second round of Doha, Tsurenko won nine games in a row after opening 1-3, and finally defeated No. 4 seed Jabbar 6-3, 6-2 to win his first TOP10 victory in five years (9th overall).
Jabbar swallowed the "invisible egg" in anger and collapsed.
In the first three matches, she only achieved 2 wins and 3 losses, and all of them stopped in the second round! All three defeats were also 2 sets of defeats, and she was also eliminated by 16-year-old Andreeva at the Australian Open!
Gauff 2-6, 4-6 Siniakova
As the No. 2 seed in the tournament, Gauff is also a "first-round tour", which is definitely a super upset!
In the second round of Doha, Siniakova sent an invisible egg after 0-4 in the second set, and finally defeated the second seed Gauff 6-2, 6-4, and won the world's top five for the fifth time in her career.
Gauff sleepwalked all over the audience, full of questions about "who am I, where am I, what am I doing?"
It's hard to believe that this is Gauff's first defeat to a player outside the top five in nearly eight months, with the last record coming back in the first round of Wimbledon last year, when she lost 2-1 to 128th-ranked Kenin.
During this period, she once won 32 consecutive matches against players outside the top 5, and only lost 5 games during this period.
- 2023 Montreal: NO.3 Pegula
- Beijing: NO.2 Swiatek
- Cancun: NO.2 Swiatek + NO.5 Pegula
- 2024 Australian Open: NO.2 Sabalenka
Siniakova's career 9 wins in the TOP10 are very golden, worthy of a "nerve knife", afraid of the knife out of the sheath!
- 2017深圳：NO.4哈勒普
- 2017 Shenzhen: NO.10 Kong Tower
- 2017 Bastad: NO.6 Wozniacki
- 2018 Wuhan: NO.4 Garcia
- 2019 French Open: NO.1 Naomi Osaka
- 2021 Parma: NO.8 Serena Williams
- 2021 Montreal: NO.9 Muguruza
- 2022 Billie Jean King Cup: NO.7 Gauff
- Doha 2024: NO.3 Gauff
In addition, she also 1-0 Sharapova, 1-0 Clijsters, 1-0 Azarenka!
Sakkari 6-3, 6(2)-7, 5-7 Noskova
Noskova, who knocked out Swiatek at the Australian Open, continued her magical performance as she overcame a 3-6, 3-5 deficit and saved a match point to defeat seventh seed Sakkari 3-6, 7-6(2), 7-5 for her second and fifth career Top 10 win of the year, while Sakkari suffered a three-game singles defeat
Previously, at the Australian Open and Abu Dhabi stations, she stopped in the second round, and she was also the top ten and had to run!
In one day's competition, the three top 8 seeds were collectively out, which was really cold!
From the Australian Open to Doha, WTA seeds are made of water, and women's tennis really doesn't rely on strength or state.
