Oh, my God! China's Golden Flower Wang Xiyu lost to Spain's Badosa at the WTA500 Ningbo Station, which is a pity! I was expecting her to win the game and continue to do miracles! Hey, it seems that competitive sports are like this, full of variables!
Contest Recap:
Wang Xiyu, a Chinese tennis player ranked 95 in the world, entered as a wild card this time, and she performed quite well in the first round against Russia's Rakhimova. Her opponent, Badosa, 27 years old and ranked 14th in the world, is the No. 8 seed in this tournament. Bardosa is a formidable player, with a top ranking of No. 2 in the world and four WTA Tour singles titles in his career, including the 1000-level BNP Paribas Open in 2021.
In the first set, the two sides played very closely, and the score rose alternately until it was 3-3 draw. At the critical moment, Wang Xiyu took the lead to break the deadlock and successfully broke serve to lead 5-3. However, Badosa was a seasoned veteran after all, and she held her ground, winning two games in a row to level the score and take a 6-5 lead. At this time, Wang Xiyu withstood the pressure and dragged the match into a tie-break with a high-quality serve, and finally won the first set 7-4, which was really thrilling!
Second set:
Unexpectedly, in the second set, Wang Xiyu's form suddenly declined, unforced errors increased significantly, and the quality of serve and return was not as good as before. Probably due to an injury, Wang Xiyu requested a medical timeout in the middle of the game. However, despite a short period of adjustment, Wang Xiyu's form still did not improve, and finally lost the second set with a disparity of 1 - 6.
Third set:
In the deciding set, Wang Xiyu didn't seem to have come out of the defeat in the previous set, and his state was still sluggish, completely suppressed by Bardosa, and the game lost suspense early. In the end, Bardosa easily won the third set 6-2 and won the match with a big score of 2-1 to advance to the quarterfinals. Her next opponent will be between Maya of Brazil and Usain Bolt of United Kingdom.
What happened to Wang Xiyu?
In this game, Wang Xiyu's loss is indeed regrettable. She showed strong strength and fighting spirit in the first set, and once saw the hope of victory, but suddenly dropped in the second set, which is really puzzling! Is it really because of the injury? Or is there a psychological fluctuation?
My Questions:
After this game, many fans are also speculating about the reason for Wang Xiyu's loss, some people think that the injury has affected her performance, and some people think that her psychological quality is not strong enough to withstand the pressure when she is ahead. Anyway, competitive sports are like this, full of uncertainty, I hope Wang Xiyu can adjust his condition as soon as possible, learn from this game, and achieve better results in the next games!
