In a focus battle of Chinese fans, young player Wang Xinyu failed to go further, losing 1-6, 2-6 to the winner of the New Science and French Open and czech Krejickova, missing the final. Despite failing to create a miracle, for the young Wang Xinyu, winning three consecutive games and reaching the final four of the tour singles for the first time is enough to be amazing. I wish Wang Xinyu better results in the future!
