In the Women's Doubles match at the Rome Open on 17 May 2024, 23-year-old Chinese player Wang Xinyu and her partner Zheng Saisai defeated top seeds Xie Shuwei/Mertens 6-0 4-6 10-7 to advance to the semi-finals. It is worth mentioning that Wang Xinyu swept 7-time Grand Slam champion Xie Shuwei with a single-set score of 6-0 in this match and became the focus of the event.
The whole game was simply amazing! Everyone didn't expect Wang Xinyu to break out like this, sweeping Xie Shuwei 6-0 in a single set. Xie Shuwei is a tennis legend, a seven-time Grand Slam winner who has never been swept in singles before. This also shows from the side how strong Wang Xinyu's strength is, she can do this at a young age, which is really amazing.
Everyone is marveling at Wang Xinyu's brave performance, and the online comments are also full of admiration. Many people believe that Wang Xinyu has emerged with this victory and has the strength to become the new first sister in Chinese tennis. Don't look at her being only 23 years old this year, her strength is already terrifyingly strong. Since winning the French Open last year, she has been steadily rising, and her singles ranking has climbed to the top 20 in the world, making her place at the top of the international tennis scene.
In this season, Wang Xinyu's performance is also eye-catching. Whether it is singles or doubles, she has achieved impressive results. In the doubles event, she and Zheng Saisai have become a golden pair, reaching the semifinals or even more in many major tournaments. The two have a tacit understanding and are like a bamboo, and they have become a world-class doubles combination.
Experts are also optimistic about Wang Xinyu's future. In their opinion, Wang Xinyu has just turned 23 years old, and her strength is on the rise, and her development prospects are bright. She has an advantage in both singles and doubles, especially the performance like this sweep of Hsieh Shuwei, which fully demonstrates her strong strength. As long as she maintains her current form, I believe she will soon be able to surpass Zheng Qinwen and become China's new first sister and stand firmly in the top ten in the women's singles world.
Although Wang Xinyu's performance is exciting, we can't ignore Zheng Qinwen, the current first sister in Chinese tennis. As she gets older, Zheng Qinwen's form has indeed fluctuated, but she is still the highest-ranked athlete in China's women's singles, currently ranked No. 4 in the world, and her strength is highly recognized.
In the just-concluded Rome Open singles event, Zheng Qinwen was eliminated by the post-00s rising star Zhang Zhizhen, which at least shows that her state is not ideal. For Zheng Qinwen, who is over 30 years old, it is indeed difficult to maintain peak condition. Many netizens and experts believe that the later stages of her career may have begun, and the impact of the new generation of players will put a lot of pressure on her.
This transition between the old and the new is not new in the world of sports. Take the Chinese women's tennis as an example, before Zheng Qinwen, there were also generations of tennis legends such as Li Na and Zheng Jie. Now it seems that Zheng Qinwen may have to make way for the new generation of Chinese women's tennis. In addition to Wang Xinyu, in recent years, a number of post-00 stars such as Zhang Zhizhen and Wang Xiyu have emerged in China, and their strength is improving rapidly and has played well in many important competitions.
We have reason to believe that the future of Chinese women's tennis will be more dazzling. This young new army with great potential will soon be handed over to Zheng Qinwen and other veterans, promoting Chinese tennis to officially enter the "putteen era". The new generation will take over the baton from their predecessors and continue the glory of Chinese women's tennis on a larger stage.
For fans, witnessing the transition from old to new will be a visual feast. In this process, a competition like Wang Xinyu's sweep of Xie Shuwei will only be the beginning of the new generation announcing the return of the king. In the future, there will be more and more exciting battles, the old and the new battles, and infighting, let us wait and see! The rise of China's women's tennis is just around the corner, and this young team will surely win glory for the country in more major tournaments.
